SECOND HAND / USED / AS PHOTOGRAPHED / WITH SOME LOSSES & DAMAGE TO BRANDING LABELS, REELS & THREAD

 ALL PART USED - 9 J DEWHURST & SONS (LD) / DEWHURT'S / SYLKO WOODEN COTTON REELS

MIXED COLOURS -   D50 D52 D54 D60 D63 D65 D69 D72 D76  

These pre-owned / part-used WOODEN cotton reels are being sold as photographed. They have been re-claimed over the years from old sewing boxes.  Please note that they are being sold as collectables, rather than for use, as the quality of the thread cannot be assessed and will vary accoriding to their age and storage over the years.

On this selection in addition, please note that is D50 has staining to the thread and D65 is a shorter reel, with a lot of rewound thread and has its branding label missing on one end.  Total unpacked weight in plastic bag is 136g (approx).

All are going to be listed as auctions and sadly, we are unable to amend / swap reels from one listing to another. Some have very little thread left on them, some do have surplus thread wound around them, some may have tape securing the ends (done by previous owner) and some of the slits used to secure the thread have broken, leaving end threads hanging.  There is only provision for 12 photos and it is impossible to detail every single imperfection on each individual reel, hence the reason that they are being sold as photographed. I do have hundreds to list, so if you do notice that the colours / numbers etc in the listing do not reflect what you are seeing, please make contact so that I can check and / or amend if necessary, or provide additional photos.

I will listing a number of cotton reels in due course, including both plastic and wooden examples and am more than happy to combine postage, but please request a payment total before paying, so that p&p can be adjusted if quantity / size / weight allow.  

Please note that they all vary in condition / age and there is some discolouration / fading on the outside threads (revealing a brighter colour beneath in some cases), as well as staining / marks on them .

I have included a number of photos and these probably describe the item better than I can and form part of the description. Everyone has different considerations when purchasing items and if you need any further information, please feel free to contact me and I will try to help. The photos were taken inside, in natural light on a fairly bright day, but please be aware that colours will vary according to personal settings.  The clear perspex stand is not part of the listing, but there just for display purposes.

Condition: These are ALL in pre-owned / used condition and are being sold AS PHOTOGRAPHED.  All have come out of previously owned sewing boxes over the years and are being sold as collectables rather than for use, as the quality of the thread cannot be assessed and WILL vary according to age / use / previous storage.   The labels all vary in condition / branding / colour / detail, with some lifting and / or having tears / damage / holes / losses / creasing. Condition varies, with discolouration / fading / staining / nicks / marks / damage and for accuracy, most will have a 'vintage' odour commensurate with age / storage. I cannot guarantee that none have ever come out of a smoking household. Please note the size of each reel and quantity of thread left of each reel will vary.  If you are looking for examples in mint condition, these will not fit into that category. I have taken a number of photos which, in addtion to forming part of the description, all bidders to make their own assessment before bidding.

These items are in pre-owned condition with imperfections commensurate with age / use / storage, so please take time to read the condition description / Seller Notes above, in addition to viewing the images, before bidding. Thank you.

Please feel free to ask any questions but please please ask through Ebay. Unfortunately, selling on Ebay generates a lot of spam and dubious emails and I now only respond to questions placed directly through Ebay. I will try to answer questions as soon as possible, but this will normally be in the evening. There are times where I may not be able to reply within 24 hours but I will reply well before the listing ends.
