Wooden Size 50 thread spools
 
I received a sewing machine yesterday that had a draw full of wooden sewing spools with several size 50 in the lot.
If there are any National two spool owners that need 1 or 2 msg me and I'll mail them to you. Free as in no charge.

You are so kind to make this offer. I have all I need for mine.

What is a draw?

It's just a typo. It's "drawer full".

As Leon said

I'd sure like a two spool machine, but I already have the wooden spools. :D

I didn't know exactly what a National 2 spool machine was and after looking it up I see that she's quite a beauty! Very nice of you to come onto the Quilting Board and offer free wooden spools.

It's one of those little wooden boxes in the side of the sewing machine cabinet that you draw out and discover things you don't remember you owned...that or an embarrassing typo.

Ohhhhhh a drawer, I get it now. I've never heard that term before, lol. Must be a southern thing, or east coast maybe? 😁

What a kind, generous offer!

People do have a sense of humour when it comes to drawers I think. I know a woman who calls underwear drawers. She laughs every time someone says something about looking through their drawers for something or fishing around in their or someone else's drawers to look for something. I think that while one can generally be sure as to what one will find looking through one's own drawers, the same cannot be said about anyone else's, or so I imagine.

Size 50 spools are gone. Some local folks hit me up hard for them. I had no idea there were that many 2 spool machine owners. I've only been able to put my hands on one partial machine since I got into vintage machines. If I run across any other bits and pieces I don't need I'll post what I find. Anybody runs into Davis VF model 8 parts give me a lead, I'm trying to get one back in running condition.
