Vintage Coats “Mile Long” Thread in Original Box – White Plastic Reel – c.1950s–60s A striking example of vintage haberdashery: this Coats “Mile Long” sewing thread reel is presented in its original branded cardboard box and features the larger white plastic spool typical of mid-century industrial or professional use. The reel contains an impressive one mile (1,760 yards) of thread, and its bold scale makes it a standout display piece. The reel itself measures approx. 9.5 cm high and 6.5 cm in diameter, significantly larger than standard domestic reels. The thread appears unused, clean, and tightly wound. The white plastic spool is intact, with no cracks or damage. The original Coats box is complete and structurally sound, showing light surface wear, scuffs, and minor softening to edges, all consistent with age and storage. A fantastic addition for collectors of vintage sewing, nostalgic display, or even practical use for those who appreciate the quality of mid-century thread. DimensionsH:9.5cm x D:6.5cm ConditionThe reel has a blue mark on the bottom edge. The original box shows age-appropriate wear, including light scuffs, slight softening to corners, and some small marks or discolouration, but remain structurally sound and display well.
