Thanks!
First of all, realy good news. I scored a $100 MH tie for $35 shipped.
And second, I walked into an Antique store today, and found a box of about 400 vintage spools.

I got these 4 for a buck.

I didn't have any ref pics. with me, and unfortunatly, I had to pick out as many small ones as I could, because I was out of time before I even started going though them. I went though the 3 story store, and found these walking out.
But some say their thread was even mercurized.
Vintage Spools :
VS
Moderns Spools :
The vintage spools are all a lot larger than the modern ones. I'll most proboly mix and match them, and since I have so many extras (enough for an another belt....) I'll either sell the extras towards halloween, or make another belts and sell it.
