Gudebrod Bros. Silver Silk Thread
This is the most lovely, silvery silk thread, made by Gudebrod Brothers in the late 19th century. The spool is red, with label on top, and contains quite a lot of thread. (It comes within 1/8" inch of the edge of the spool.) Gudebrod called this "Champion Silk."
The spool measures just shy of an inch tall, and 1 5/8" inches in diameter. Spool shows some wear/small chip, and the label is somewhat worn. A few tiny knots in the first foot or so of thread. Else in excellent condition. It is so shiny and feels so wonderful in the hand. Add it to your collection for $8.00.
