the threads are lovely, and you will find most of them in top condition as they were made when things were made 'properly'.

What a find! I have a very cute pincushion/ measuring tape holder sewing pattern that is the cutest little sheep but it takes two wooden thread spools for his "feet" and I have never made it because I couldn't find the wooden spools. So that would be one use for those. Probably many other cute projects too!

Here is a picture of one made - I have had this pattern a long time so do not know if it is still available or not and do not know where it came from. I think it is so cute and maybe one day I will be able to ale it!
Just thought you would like to see a picture - his little tail is the end of the measuring tape that will pull out for use.

I just love old spools of thread. I do not see any C & C old formula, which I collect when I can.

You can make a necklace using the small spools. I made on just added a pretty ribbon and wear it to quilt shows or gild meetings.Be sure to add a clear glue to edge of thread to prevent them straying.

Gosh my spelling was bad!! Made one! Wear to guild meeting and I add fray check on ends of thread to prevent unraveling. You can make it any length. add buttons also . They'll be an attention getter.
Whatever you do DO NOT throw out the singer box. I have a Singer 221 and the empty box alone can sell for $35.00.
wowwwwwwwwwww

I have a lot of the same stuff. I have the Singer I learned to sew on-my Mom's-and really need to find someone close to take her to and see if I can use her. Don't see why not, a lot of older ones keep going. She was made in Elizabeth NJ, April1, 1941. A model 66. Just goes forward and back, but my sisters and I put a lot of on her. This is what I sewed my wedding dress with! And there's a knee thing you use instead of a pedal. I remember that fondly, at least it didn't skitter away from your foot.

Makes my heart flutter! When Grandma died, my Dad took her Singer and all to the dump. I was crushed he didn't ask if I wanted it. Since I had a "newer" Singer, he thought I wouldn't have wanted the old one. What glorious memories I have of Grandma teaching me on hers. Sigh
