This won't help much but-

I have in my collection:

J P Coats
Clark Company
Coats & Clark
White Star Thread Company

Some of the older cotton thread is "mercerized & boil-fast"

I have wooden spools, styrofoam spools (probably 70's), plastic
spools, paper pre-filled sewing machine bobbins (the company went out
of business in 1950's)

IF anyone has a link (or two) to dating sites.. I would appreciate them also.
