My Gram recently decided she was too old to quilt and sew anymore. (She's ONLY in her 70's and some of you spritely ladies could give her a "Haha!" for that thought!) So, she cleared out all of her supplies and passed them onto my daughters and I, her only quilting/sewing descendants. This greatly increased my supply of tools and notions but also THREAD! Trouble is, most of these spools are old. A lot of the thread is rayon, mercerized or even silk. How old is too old for these types of threads? They're all so pretty and I just don't want to pass them on. There were also 3 bags of tiny paper bobbin type spools and I'm not sure what they were used for. Help! Please!

Not Sure What These Are. They're In Bobbin-Like Form But On Papery Spools.
