Featured Uranium glass thread winder

I found this lovely little thread winder today.
I thought it may be of interest to show here as after spending some time trying to research I think it’s a rare beast!. Approx 3.5cm across.
There are plenty of MOP ones out there but very few glass.
Unsure of the date though……?

 

K! You always find most unusual and interesting items!

 

I think they find me!.
I love oddities and things that I don’t know about. Some I bring home and find they are pretty common or mundane, others are little treasures.
I almost never look in the glass cases as that stuff is usually way out of my price range and I don’t get a kick out of buying stuff that has no secrets.
In the winter I go to a weekly antiques fair and there is a lady who sells vintage haberdashery stuff. This was in a little bag with a MOP one £5 for the two which I now know was a bargain.
I’m very happy to root around in the bottom of dirty boxes of junk to see what I can find!.

 

I agree with kyratango

what a sweet little piece KSW! I have never seen one before, thank-you for sharing this

 

Didn't know they even existed. Off to google thread winders!

 

I never knew there was a thread winder. Learned something new.

 

What a sweet find! I've never seen one before - although I have quite a few! A TREASURE!!

Neither did I until yesterday!

 

I just want to go exploring/shopping with you!

Given the glow and shape, I'd think early 20th and Bohemian. Lovely little thing.

 

Thankyou. It’s dead cute isn’t it.
