The paper pre-wound bobbins may have been from a factory. Years ago, when there were factory stores, you could buy the bobbins of thread they no longer needed. What a wonderful gift from your grandmother (?). Keep some of the things displayed. She'll be so delighted that you like her "stuff".
And tell her, I'm 70 and say - get back into the sewing saddle! You aren't old yet.
