Antique Brass Ended Thread Spool by W. Evans & Co.

English * Circa 1870

This early thread spool is made of wood, and the ends are caped with brass. The brass on both top and bottom is embossed with the name "W. Evans & Co. - Derby" over a coat of arms. It's also marked 24 (the thread size, very fine).

The condition is excellent with no loss or damage. It measures 1 1/4" high x almost 1" in diameter and it's full of the original thread.

I stand behind everything that I offer and guarantee that it is exactly as presented.

** Full Insurance is included in the low shipping price for all of my auctions. **

I accept payment through PayPal, eBay or a check.
