Description
This set of six vintage textile mill bobbins dates to around 1950 and reflects the craftsmanship of mid-century industrial weaving. Each wooden spool varies slightly in form and finish, with several featuring metal or brass end caps and visible tool wear from decades of mill use. The red and green thread was added later for decorative effect, highlighting their form and color. A tactile, authentic grouping perfect for display in sewing rooms, workshops, or industrial-inspired decor.
