Chouinard Expedition Sewing Kit

I found this sewig kit at the bottom of a side pouch on an old backpack and I a afraid that most of the contents are looking rather sad with mildew and rust. About the only item that wasn't in bad shape was the needle vise.

The kit included two heavy duty sewing needles, the pinvise, a few strieght pins, a couple short pieces of heavy duty waxed threading material, a cotter pin, used to fish a draw string back into a jacket, and cellaphane bag with a button. There are also printed instructions on how to use the contents of this package for various tasks.

The needles and cotter pin are encrusted in rust and will be replaced. Although the pouch doesn't look to bad it could use some cleaning, and then have leather conditioner applied to its surface.
