Blast from the Past

More unpacking surprises. This time, I found a box of sewing things from my mother. Among other things, there was thread on wood spools. Some of it was hers and some given to her by my great grandmother.


I love the prices on these! Don't you wish thread was still just 15¢? And there is one for 10¢.

Coats and Clark has been around forever, but I don't recognize some of these brands: Spun Dee, Belding Corticelli, American Thread Company.


This green wood spool is different. I wonder if that is the original thread or if my great grandmother reused an empty spool. Too bad that part of the label is gone.


And I love this little wood thead spool. I bet it was in a travel kit. It looks like it fit on top of another spool, or something else.
