Burke Mills VTG 80s Brt Poly Brown Embroidery Thread Cone 135/2 630Grs
This latest thread find came via second person from Burke Mills (and some other thread companies in that area).
Burke Mills was in Valdese, NC and founded in 1948 and continued through the early 2000s (as far as I can tell). Their primary focus during their time was Automobile and Home Furnishing thread.
Embroidery is not my art but my source sold these as Embroidery thread (and certainly the colors suggest so, and some other names I acquired at the same time) .I will include my analysis here so you can just your need or use.
Marked 135/2-50-9S-9Z. Although it seems like 135 might be the Tex, that might not be true given some of my research.
BUT the thread is really strong, and appears to be 2 Ply.
I have included a picture of the thread going through the eye of a regular needle. Even if the picture doesn't match the color of a listing you are viewing, it is still the same type thread from this lot.
Large Cone with a lot of thread
New Old Stock- May have a bump or two where cones sat on other cones for awhile
