This Thread Winder Spindle was notated in her Estate inventory as "Antique Hand Carved Bovine Ox Bone Thread Spindle - NO Barrel - 1838". Displayed inside a glass cabinet as part of a sewing notions tools collection, it is in EXCELLENT Condition with minor age appropriate wear and brownish patina spots from the hand oils of the Original owner; as noted, this is a Spindle with Disc ONLY.

Both the Spindle and Disc have graceful shapes and nicely detailed features.
