1920s Nun's Boilproof Sewing Thread Spool and 50 similar items

A rare and remarkable survivor of early 20th-century American retail history, this original 1920s Nun?s Boilproof thread display case is a true collector?s gem. Designed with 7 glass-front drawers and charming interior dividers, it once held spools of premium thread for seamstresses and store patrons alike. The graphics remain wonderfully vivid, featuring the iconic image of a nun leaping from a boiling cauldron ? a whimsical nod to the product?s durability. Crafted from richly grained wood with a deep, warm patina, this piece is both sturdy and visually striking, perfect for display or creative repurposing. Given it's age, it is in fantastic condition. One drawer is missing its glass pane, and another has a slightly loosened corner ? structurally sound for now, with just a hint of give ? and some interior dividers are missing (easily replaced), as shown. Still, all drawers function, and the case presents beautifully overall, with solid construction and remarkable graphic preservation. This is a standout display worthy of a sewing collection, vintage shop, or curated interior ? a rare piece of advertising history that seldom comes to market in such visually complete form.
