Featured ONT Spool Cabinet

What do you think of the condition and what do you think the value is? Thanks!


Jeff

 

the condition is very nice, but we need to see inside the drawers......and the rear.

We don't do values....as there are too many factors in determining a fair market price...... but we've seen these before so likely some members may have general thoughts on a ballpark figure.....

 

I’ve asked for more pictures. The guy wants $100 for it. I’m use to seeing a name on these like Clark’s? Why the difference?

 

even if it's a reproduction.....a C note is not that bad....if you like it for your home...
if u mean to flip it...........get more pics....

"In the 1880's, for example, the Clark company developed a six-cord soft-finished thread called “Our New Thread”, which became known as O.N.T."

$100 seems like a deal with the stand.

 

Personally,the condition of it would make me hesitate to spend $100 ,but then Im a cheapo . The whole thing looks like a homemade job to me . I just dont see the quality,for lack of a better word, these usually have.

 

They made a wide variety of styles and drawer configurations. Some are very ornate, others very plain. Here's an example of a similar build that doesn't even look to have the glass inserts, just decals.

It’s an hour drive and I’m buying to resell. Not sure if it’s worth the hour drive.

 

I would pass due to the drive and the price.

 

Growing up, we always referred to O.N.T. as 'old notty thread'.
