Listing is for a set of 8 burgundy, thread-wrapped Quills from the 1930's and 40's. These wooden quills are Factory Reclaimed from a defunct site in the North Eastern United States. The thread has been added later for display purposes and is likely dated to the 1960-70's. I wouldn't trust it for sewing. The wooden quills were used in actual production and show patina and wear, which adds to their appeal. These make great decor items clustered in a basket on the hearth, they can also be arranged in three dimensional framed art and wall pieces. We have multiple styles and can offer some of them in bulk. Message us if you are interested in a larger number!
