Description

A collection of thread from the American Thread Company. All are coated cotton thread with the exception of the white which is uncoated. As a result it is heavily stained. The blue thread has a sticker on top that marks it as Intrinsic brand, 12,000 yards, glace finish. The green thread has the company name embossed on the underside of the spool. The blue and orange threads are somewhat tangled but the others are wrapped neatly. All spools are worn or broken to some degree.
