<p>[QUOTE="OldWhitby, post: 3971025, member: 17301"]Maybe this should be in the metal forum but this was in my mother's sewing stuff. She did a lot of sewing all her life but I don't recall anything where she might have used it,[ATTACH=full]324129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324130[/ATTACH] and judging by the spool it was likely her mother's or even her grandmother's. The wire is steel and the spool is 2.75" high. I think my brother used a little bit of it as electrical wire when he made a crystal radio back in the 50s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
