Place of origin |
This packaging was possibly used for wrapping sewing cotton produced by James Chadwick and Brother Cotten Mill, threadmakers based in Bolton, Lancashire in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A sense of tradition and history is achieved by using a coat of arms on the wrapper. The Latin words Simplex Munditiis on the coat of arms translate as ‘simple, in neat attire’.
