An antique 3 tray metal display case for spools of sewing thread. This one displays "Clark's O.N.T. Boilfast" and would have been placed on a shop counter to show the various Clark's threads that were available to buy. It's date is not known but being as Clark merged with Coates in 1896 and there was a name change - it's probably no later than 1897. PS. Boilfast means colorfast.
A few spools of thread are included but these are not contemporary with the cabinet.
The cotton thread was brought onto the market in 1812. In 1817 the Clark Company opened a mill, dedicated to the production of this type of thread and then, a few years later, the firm discovered a method of winding this thread onto small, wooden reels. This type of cotton thread was eventually to replace many of the linen and silk hand sewing threads already on the maket.
