I wrote to the seller asking for clarification about the leather, and if he had any pictures taken from the side to see if there is a ratchet system. My poor copy of Kloppel/kissen/stander is almost worn out because I use it so much, but it doesn't illustrate something exactly like this; and no mention of a leather cover. It does seem to be fastened fairly permanently to the stand. Le Puy pillows are occasionally covered with leather; makes a nice bouncy surface for the bobbins. There is another 'leather and lace' item on Ebay just now; a leather pillow advertised as Belgian - 310053688931 - would appreciate comments. I've never seen a leather covered pillow like this before, but there are precedents for the general form in Belgium. I always get a little suspicious when I see upholstery tacks so close together - might be a backfitted item. But someone has used it to make lace. Laurie
