Cut
Steel Thread Winder / Spool Sewing Clamp
Cut steel is a medium that originated in Europe
and is thought to have been introduced as early as the 16th century.
It has a great look, and it was mostly used for jewelry, pins, or buckles, and
to find other objects in this medium is quite unusual. This antique thread
winder is about 6" tall and has a wonderful faceted design of leaves on a vine
with faceted and polished edges that shimmer and "glows" in the light.
It is a wonderful example and displays very nicely.

Steel Thread Winder / Spool
For such a simple little design,
a lot of work went into this little thread winder. It has a very nice
heart cutout thumbscrew, and the upright has about the smallest and finest knurling
I have ever seen. Nice.

Polished Steel & Wood Thread Winders / Spools
These are about the
same size as each other but slightly different in makeup. The seamstress
or sewer would have these set up for large pieces of work to have a ready supply
of thread at hand for the project underway. These would date from the19th
century or before, and are very well done.

Polished
Steel Sewing Clamp Netting Hook
Here is a another example of a
lot of work and embellishment for such a simple tool with a simple task in mind.
A nail in the top of the table would have sufficed, but someone instead put
hours into forming and decorating this small sewing clamp / tool.
Nice.
