Description :

Set of Three Antique Beehive Bobbin Spools

Group of three early industrial wooden bobbin spools, once used in textile mills for winding thread or yarn. The set includes:

  • One beehive-style spool with vent holes along the shaft and a flared base formed with concentric ridges. Both ends show wear consistent with machine mounting.

  • Two cylindrical spools with flat tops and metal-rimmed bases. Each top surface bears faded circular markings, possibly remnants of manufacturer stamps. The shafts are slightly tapered, with visible grain patterns and tonal variations in the wood.

These utilitarian forms were likely produced in the early 20th century for use in large-scale textile production. The surfaces carry the trace marks of their industrial past, with patina and mechanical wear throughout.

Dimensions:
Tallest (beehive): 12" H x 2" W
Shortest (cylindrical): 10" H x 3" W
