There's no makers name but it's likely to be Raworth's and circa 1840. Some thread remains and from the way it is neatly wound seems to be the original. It measures 3cm x 2.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The next going down in size has paper labels top and bottom on a wooden core. The base is printed 'Raworth's Nine Cord' and the number 60. The top reads 'Manufactured by Order and For Use Of Her Majesty and the Royal Household' and in smaller print 'Appointed 11th Day of August 1837 Nine Cord.' This reel has old yellow silk cord on it but is probably not original to the reel. This refers to Queen Victoria who was Queen in June 1837. Just over 2.5cm high x just over 2cm in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smallest is a little mutton bone reel with a paper label on the top titled 'Raworth's Adelaide Thread' plus the Royal Coat of Arms in gold on red. The base has a partial turquoise coloured paper label printed with 'By Her Majesty's Special Command 27th Feb 1832'. Adelaide was Queen to William IV 1830-1837. No thread. A diminutive 2 x 2cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare documentary trio in very good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock no.
