Estate sale find: a vintage lot of small sewing thread spools in assorted colors. The spools are all small and made of black plastic. Most are wound with thread, and 3 are empty. The colors include red, orange, yellow, greens, blues, purples, pinks, browns, grays, white, cream, tan, and black.
Two spools are Gütermann 100% polyester thread, labeled “Made in W. Germany” (West Germany, so pre-1990). They sit on the white spools marked 220 yds/200 m. The rest appear to be unmarked sewing thread. Total weight is 2.1 oz.
This lot suits everyday sewing and mending, replenishing a sewing kit, crafting, or altered art. It also works for vintage sewing notions collectors, thread or bobbin collectors, or anyone who needs spools for projects.
Condition: used vintage. The thread amounts vary from nearly full to partially used. Some spools have loose thread ends and light dust or wear from age and storage. No cracks or breaks to the spools were observed, though one or two have slightly uneven rims. The thread has not been tested for strength, so it is best for light sewing and crafts. Please see the detailed photos for item condition. Everything shown is included and will ship in a zip bag.
I am always happy to consider any reasonable offer and will combine shipping.
