Darning Sock Tool

"My wife, Lillian, remembers the darning tool in her house growing up but isn’t sure which parent it belonged to, as her mother would have darned socks, and her father who was in the army during the Emergency would also have had to darn socks. We believe that it may in fact have belonged to Lillian’s grandfather as he served in France during the First World War."
