Sounds nutty to me, but different strokes for different folks. Who knows? Somebody with more money, than sense might come along and just have to have it.
Some people think just because it is old it is worth gold. You used to be able to buy wooden spools in craft department, and they are around at estate sales and second hand stores.
I have so many old wooden spools of thread but never thought about dumping into an old jar and putting up for sale! Naw...I'll just put jars and decorate my own sewing areas and/or make a few smaller jars for gifts to sewing friends.
all i can say IMHO is hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahh a
Just imagine! To think that I threw away a fortune several years ago when I was cleaning out to make my cross-country move.

Yes, that is crazy! First of all - the thread is dry-rotted and will break easily. Even silk dry-rots.
I printed the second photo so my son (or me) can make a strip spool holder like that .

Yep, they are crazy.
I bought a whole box of the thread for $3.00.
I put it in my own gallon jar.
Maybe I should contact them to sell mine.
