Ironstone Yarns "Starlights" on my antique yarn swift. The swift is pretty cool, isn't it?

At 11:17 PM, Plain Jane said...: Way cool.. That is a *lot* like mine.. Do you have any idea how old they might be? I know that the farm house where I grew up was built in the mid 1800s and occupied by my parents from 1941 until 2003. The swift was found in the attic along with a large spinning wheel that we've been told is a flax wheel and a skeiner that rotates 40 times before coming up against a stop.
