As for the wooden ones, they are in a pattern box. My niece loved to play with them like blocks when she was little. It occupied her for hours. The plastic cones make great little angels for the tree. I can't remember which one it was that had the nice base on it that came apart. It was perfect to slip into a larger holed thread spool to make it fit my spindle on the machine just like it was made for that.
Many years ago they used to make doll furniture with the wooden ones. Glued together for legs and the tall headboards and baseboards. Somewhere I still have those instructions. Although, I am sure it would take some looking to find it. LOL! There was dolls you strung the spools together for legs and arms. Also, I have seen them as fake wheels on stuffed toys for kids, or the country decorating we used to do. I have also seen them screwed onto a board to hang cords or whatever. Spaced out all in order. Like they make the wooden pegs to hang jackets.
Not that I have bothered to do any of these things .. LOL! The big jar for the plastics and big pattern box just hold them in the garage until I use them for something.
I have noticed that now they are putting thread onto cardboard forms.
