Wooden Spools
#31
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.

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.

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 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 !
