Now this is a lovely little pice , a 1930s Clark’s “Anchor” stranded cotton haberdashery display box, originally made for use on the counter of a draper’s or haberdashery shop.
Constructed in dark-stained oak, the box has a glass hinged lid decorated with the original Anchor trade mark, together with gilt lettering to the front reading “Clark’s ‘Anchor’ Stranded Cotton for Embroidery”. A small period label to the lid reads “Fast Colors”.
The interior is divided into individual compartments designed to hold embroidery cotton. When opened, the three sections rise and spread apart on their original metal mechanism, allowing the different colours to be easily viewed and selected by customers. The upper section remains transparent on the top so that the threads could also be displayed while the box was closed.
The box is currently filled with a large selection of vintage embroidery cotton reels in a wide range of colours, giving a good impression of how it would originally have appeared on a shop counter
