Extremely Rare Art Deco Needle Case Bakelite? and Sterling Silver Needlecase

Description

Extremely Rare Art Deco Needle Case Bakelite? and Sterling Silver Needlecase.  This needle case has me baffled.  It is made of Sterling Silver and marked as such.  And what smells like Bakelite when I rub it.  But I can't say for sure it is.  It's just my educated guess but I could be wrong. It is beautiful it! It does have some issues some of the tops are chipped as seen in the pictures. The last needle case looks like a needle threader, see pic,  again just my guess.  I bought this a while ago and decided it's time to go to a new home I took a picture of the bottom it was patented in 1916 so it is extremely old. I believe it's art deco in looks.  It's mark Sterling.  Does anyone know what exactly this is?  I won it at an auction and it was sold as a Needlecase. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail Insured.
