Spool of sewing thread, brown

Object/Artifact

A small spool of sewing thread wound on a white cardboard bobbin with flanged ends, one of which is hollow/recessed. The thread is brown, fine, and appears to be a plied (twisted) sewing thread with a slight sheen; the wind is full but disturbed, with stray strands and a loose tail trailing from one end. The bobbin is the flanged type used for machine and hand sewing thread. No printed label, end stamp, or brand is visible.
