I still have several boxes of gudebrod thread. When I get a moment I will dig them out and post what I have and sell it to you if anyone is interested. I bought a bunch several years ago on ebay. I like it and always transfer the thread from the long skinny spools onto the nor-vise spools. Let me know if there is interest.
