What are these?

Attached is a picture (I hope). I found them in an antique sewing machine cabinet. I always thought they were bobbins for a shuttle machine, but now I'm not so sure. Are they worth anything. The spools are wood, so cute. Thanks for any help.

that is what I would think that they are.

They do look like they would fit in a shuttle machine. The only other thing they might be is for lace making?
|
Appear to be prewound long bobbins. Which make of sewing machine were they with? Neat find.

Would they have anything to do with two-spool machines? I have not clue what they look like. I would love to have some of them for my collection of sewing things, whatever they are.
|
They look like very old pre-wound bobbins to me too.

Prewounds have apparently been around for a very long time. Here is a box of them, captured from that auction place, and obviously for a very old machine; plus a couple that are somewhat newer.

Dianne,
Very neat. I used to have some similar to yours but a different maker. One box was marked Singer for their New Family model and the other Domestic for their fiddlebed machine. Jon |

A really long time.....
These are for the Singer New Family (as Jon mentioned above) and date to about 1875-1880 [ATTACH=CONFIG]531458[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]531461[/ATTACH] |
Those are a really 'fun' item!! Never knew they have been around that long!
