 Antique & Vintage Sewing Accessories

Thread Holders / Thread Stands

Page 2

Most of the sewing related antiques you will find on this and our other Sewing Accessories pages originated from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, and were part two large and diverse antique sewing collections we are handling on consignment.  This is the first time most of these pieces have been out on the market in many years.

 

Thread Holding Stand  This is a cute little thread spool holder.  The upright pins are actually springs, and to get the thread in or out you bend the uprights and go.  It is marked "USA" and "Patent Pend" on the felt bottom.  It stands about 3" tall and is 3 1/2 across.  Cute!

Folk-y Figural Chicken Vintage Spool Holding Stand  This vintage thread holder is one of those handmade pieces that crosses the line from functional into folk art.  It measures about 11" tall.  In additional to the spool pins on the base there are provisions to hold a couple of thimbles (on top of the tail) and a pair of scissors (through the neck).  The condition of the paint is excellent front and back.  Really charming!
