I don't know their worth, apparently ones on E-bay must know, cause some of their's are expensive, small ones not so much. Shipping is what costs so much on there. I just want to thank everyone who has pm me with offers.

Saving mine also, some say $.15 cents

If you want to e mail me with your address I have a few I could send to you.

I have wooden spools, too. I know the old, tall ones are valuable, but are the little ones that had regular sewing thread from a long (like our grandmothers used) are they valuable? Those are the kind I have decorating my jar lamps.

These are worth money??? I have lots of them, mostly they still have thread on them. Guess I need to check out the prices. Anybody have any idea what they're worth?

The preschool teacher at our school takes all spools, plastic and wood for the children to string on yarn or shoestrings, teaches patience and coordination.

didn't realize there was a market for these - have a few but also collect the old metal bobbins - when I go to auctions sometimes they are just thrown into a box of sewing notions, never know the gems you will get.

Glad I kept my metal bobbins. At least! I knew they were better than plastic as I have broken a few of the plastic ones. I also found out if you buy those plastic ones that are filled, they won't fit on my bobbin winder plus they are hard to find the end of the thread. I will not buy them anymore.

i seen some at a garae sale not to long ago , i will call and ask about them , if you want me to , i remember it was a quart size bag of wooden spools and others . the price was $ 10.00. e-mail [email protected] .... if you are interested ,

I don't think any of the regular wood spools are "valuable". just that people like to collect them to fill canning jars, etc. some garage sales evidently think they are valuable !
I save them to sell at our quilt show Boutique after I have found some neat glass or wood container to place them in.
just pieces of the past !
