Congratulations on such an interesting assortment. And Pollyanna is beautiful!
I thought at first that the far left bobbins might be Wheeler and Wilson, but I don't think they're round enough (I mean the tops rounded down) or short enough. The knife looks great.
It's interesting to read about thread. I have such an assortment from probably four or five decades, that I don't know how to judge what's good by brand. I hold it up to the light to see if the edges look fuzzy (bad) and give it a good yank to see if it breaks (don't use). Then I make sure to match my bobbin thread. I hoard the very old heavy button thread to sew on coat buttons.
Have fun with all your new goodies!
