    I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them, I was thinking of some kind of clear jar with a lid . Any other ideas?

    I have a couple of the spools that I have put on my shelf that is in my sewing room. Also have a old tape measure some old buttons and some other sewing items on the shelf. Shelf is right above my singer card table which has my 3 featherweights on it.

    The really skinny ones look like they might be the bobbins for the really old machines that had shuttles instead of a bobbin case.
    Don't know enough to tell, but some of the more knowledgable folks on the vintage/antique machine thread would be able to tell you.
