Bought 2 bags @$2.99 each. Here are the contents.
The metal bobbins are rusty. Most spools are wooden.

Rose cardboard has needles from Stanley. I have no clue how the bobbins are used.

It looks like some of the pre-wound bobbins are the 'M' size--used in LA's..... probably polyester thread. Great find and great savings!
The pre-wounds don't need to be put on your bobbin. Just slide into bobbin case and thread like normal. Some of the machines need to have both side of the cardboard taken off to work right. No, it doesn't hurt the bobbin or the way your machine will work because these are packed so tight they won't fall apart.

Most bobbins look like cotton thread, and some are quite thick. Others have ATCO and the letter L or A on them. One says Star Bobbin Styles American Thread Nylon E. Gonna have to use my judgement here. Some are two tall to fit in my machine. Will use my Sidewinder to put on appropriate bobbins. Thanks.
