*Sale* 1860's - 70’s linen thread box 'Fil au Conscrit'
This is quite a rare survivor from the mid-to-late 19th century , a large slim cardboard box with a beautiful and slightly bizarre coloured label. This once held many little bobbins of pure linen thread. Slightly damaged at the corners. I think the top would clean up considerably if you were gentle, and then you could frame it, or glaze it. It measures 17x23cm.
Please click on the photos to open them up full-sized.
