Question
I have a box full of antique wood thread spools all kinds and sizes. Do you know of an outlet for someone who would pay a fair price for them.

Answer
Hello Anita.  Wooden thread spools are pretty common, so don't command a very high price.  If a local country store or collectibles/antiques dealer does not want them, you can try to sell them on ebay.  If the end papers/stickers are in good condition, and they are from an older thread company, they may be slightly  more valuable.  To get an idea of current selling prices, search ebay.  Hope I've helped.  Barbara
