    Hello, looking to find out a maker/name for this threading toy. Been used by the family since, at least, the early 1970's. No discernible identification markers.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

      This is pretty neat. Sew Cool and Sew Easy did lots of kids sewing stuff. Sew Easy now makes computer operated embroidery machines if you have an extra $15K laying around. If this isn't marked then it is probably an import. These are great for hand eye coordination.

      I solved it! I found it in the 1969 Sears Wishbook Catalog. Listed on page 451, it is a Thread-a-Block and was originally priced at $1.79! This is what it looks like 45 years later. They don't make them like this anymore!
