Here's a 'real' find, at one garage sale I found these in a bag of mixed sewing notions. I had to have the bag for these!!

I bet they are 30-40 or more years old.

Oh, Dolly, how incredible!! Did you find some of my Mom's stash? Hee hee hee, I'd say they were about 40-50 years old, from what I recollect. I used to make my own clothes when I was young, and these look about right. And the packaging is still in beautiful shape. Definitely hold on to these! Hugs, Marji

I love the oldies. I have wooden spools from thread that probably cost a nickel. I also have old notions from when relatives passed away. And of course stash from my childhood sewing, so that's at least.... how old now?

That's so cool! I'm surprised that the colors are still so nice ands not faded out!
