Three vintage wooden spools of buttonhole twist or canvas weight thread were included in an estate auction. The two larger spools are almost completely full, but the smallest one is almost completely empty - I just loved its size and shape! One of the larger spools, with red-brown thread, still has its label intact on one end, but missing on the other. It's Koban brand and originally contained 70 yards (64 meters), most of which is still there. The other large spool, with white thread, appears to have never been used, but has no labels. The words "Heavy Button or Canvas" are handwritten on each end, and you can see that the thread is a thicker ply. The smallest spool originally contained 15 yards (13 meters) of buttonhole twist by Beldings Artsyl and made in Canada. There's only a small amount left on the spool, but it's a great example of the old-time small spools that were made back in the day.
