This latest thread find came via second person from Burke Mills (and some other thread companies in that area).
Burke Mills was in Valdese, NC and founded in 1948 and continued through the early 2000s (as far as I can tell). Their primary focus during their time was Automobile and Home Furnishing thread.
Embroidery is not my art but my source sold these as Embroidery thread (and certainly the colors suggest so, and some other names I acquired at the same time) .I will include my analysis here so you can just your need or use.
Marked 135/2-50-9S-9Z. Although it seems like 135 might be the Tex, that might not be true given some of my research.
BUT the thread is really strong, and appears to be 2 Ply.
I have included a picture of the thread going through the eye of a regular needle. Even if the picture doesn't match the color of a listing you are viewing, it is still the same type thread from this lot.

I accept Paypal only during the holidays. It is just easier for me to get my shipping out etc. After the new year I will add some more payment options.
I assume the eblujay platform requires you to pay immediately but if not there is a 3 day window to pay for your item. If you need more time just get in touch with me.
I ship ASAP. This is not the only venue I sell on, it is important to me to ship as soon as I can because I don't like things to back up. My initial shipping policy is 1 Business Day Defined: If you order an item Monday: Shipped on Tuesday etc. Friday's orders will go out Mondays.
There are some exceptions. If you order early enough in the day, and my shipping hasn't gone out, your item will ship same day. On occasion and especially through the holiday some Saturday shipments will occur.
Alert: International customers must allow more time for shipping. Countries that will not track, buy at your own risk. I will not refund for items not arrived if your country does not have a tracking program.
I also mark packages correctly.
Buyer pays for returns.International Customers please read entire policy
I am easy to get along with. If we need to talk about a return please contact me.
Reasons for Return: Doesn't Fit: Broken In Shipment (I ship like a fortress, so hopefully none of these):
I will require you to return the item to me for refund.
