I continue to downsize my vintage sewing stuff.

This lovely thread spool holder is aluminum and PINK!  Glorious.

I am including 3 spools of thread.  One marked Belding Bros., one Marked Belding Hemingway, and the last Belding Corticelli (no thread on this one).  I chose these three because they illustrate the history of this company.   From the belding library website:

"Belding Brothers & Company merged with Heminway Silk Company in 1925 and did business as Belding-Heminway. Soon after, the company was acquired by Corticelli Silk Company and did business as Belding-Heminway-Corticelli. The last mill in Belding closed in 1932."
