Lot of vintage varigated shaded cotton thread for sewing or very fine old machine embroidery. This is a regular sort of sewing thread weight, though there are a lot of numbers on the labels, so I'm not sure what the gauge is... perhaps 50 gauge? I think 194 is probably the color number?

There are nine full spools (marked 615 yards) of the red thread, all French, with Cartier-Bresson - France paper labels. There's one mostly full spool in shades of green, Coats & Clark mercerized cotton.

Beautiful old threads for your 'vintage' sewing, or pretty enough to display the spools just as they are!
