I think this blogger http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...wf4p8aIyE0vY-g just found a bunch of thread on wooden spools and should be doing a few posts on them, I'll try to get to the actual posts at some point, in case you are interested. Congratulations on your great find!

If the thread is too old to actually use, I put a little dab of glue on the end to hold it down and the fill containers like mason jars with the spools and have them in my sewing room...I only do it with wooden ones :)
