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
you lucky girl, that's great.something of the "good old days, and prices of the "good old days"!
Wow, I don't even remember them being that cheap! They must be REALLY old.;)

Watch it, Jerrilyn, hee hee hee, with that really old stuff, hee hee hee, hugs, M
I know u could get them in the 40s. that's was a nice find. Lots of times at Estate Sales I run into things like this. *
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?

Thats great, i had a friend leave her hubby about 6 months ago and she gave me a bagfull of nic nacs and there were 13 packs of them @ 27c each also some material that i remember from when i was a kid people had dresses of that kind.
That's so cool! I'm surprised that the colors are still so nice ands not faded out!
