It is rare to find a full, unused bolt of Corbett Brothers Quality Ribbon on a spool with their signature black cat label. So rare, that I am selling the spool complete with its 10 yards of green grosgrain ribbon to keep them together.

The Corbett Brothers headquartered their ribbon business at Fourth Avenue at 18th Street in New York City, with a branch in St. Etienne, France, and a textile mill in Paterson, N.J.

This beautiful grosgrain ribbon is 4 1/2" wide and is wound on the spool with a protective paper backing. I unwound the spool just a few feet to take photographs.

The ribbon is in very good vintage condition. The spool and label show shelf wear. The label black cat label is creased and as a few small tears as well as some minimal paper loss. The bottom label is crumbled, torn and worn around the edges with some paper loss. This label identifies the ribbon as "Made in the United States."

Spool is approximately 5 1/8" tall with a 3 1/4" diameter.
