1955 Multicolor Twisted Yarn w/ Spool

This is a industrial cardboard spool of novelty twisted yarns in black, gold and white from the Fantasy Yarns Inc. Company that was located in Philadelphia, PA. Information on the Fantasy Yarns Inc. Company could not be found. However, I did find information on the Huntingdon Yarn Mill Company, it is still in business today and is still in Philadelphia, 25 PA, and it is still producing novelty twisted yarns. There are two tags on the inside the cardboard spool. One tag has green printed written, which is marked 6-24, which could be month and day when the Fantasy Yarns Inc. Company received or mad the yarn. The second tag which is in red print and has printed on it June 23, 1955  for date it was made and the style number 941. The Huntingdon Yarn Mill Company states in their website that they have been in business as Huntingdon Yarn Mill since 1940. Could not establish if the Huntingdon Yarn Mill Company and the Fantasy Yarns Inc. Company are the same company or not or if the Fantasy Yarns Inc. Company was buying yarn from the Huntingdon Yarn Mill Company. The “25” in the address stands for ward, which is a section of Philadelphia. Both companies were in ward 25 location.
