SOLD SEPARATELY: Vintage silk thread in original box, each box contains 12 wood spools of pure silk thread. We believe these were made for the military, as one is USN Gray and the other is Olive Drab (one box is even marked wrong as Marine Corps Gold), WWII era puts them circa 1940's. They were made by the Advance Silk Thread Corporation, Hackensack, N.J. Each box still has the spider web tissue inside. The boxes are showing age with some spotting, and inside some of the spool bottom labels are off. Please see all photos, and below for the spool bottom labels.
