At is a picture of a cotton thread with at bear on it. It is made by the very large producer J. & P. Coats of Paisley, Scotland. Can anyone tell me anything about this?
It was sold in Scandinavia since the 1910's or something like that, and a long time after that. It is very well-known here in Sweden, where especially strong thread often is called "bj=F6rntr=E5d" (=3D bear thread), because of this brand it seems. But I can't find any mention of it in the English language (except that which is done by Scaninavians), and I've searched a lot, on the net, in books, in J. & P. Coats history, ... Isn't it known in Great Britain?
