Hi Brian

There's one dealer on eBay at the moment who is 'tampering' with old bobbins i.e. replacing tinsel, wire, beads, spangles - totally out of order (IMO) !!! Have you noticed 'him'.

Of course that is fine. We accept antique furniture that is repaired/restored etc, but we seem to be a bit upset if a bobbin has been restored?

I was given an old wooden bobbin with pewter spots, but one "spot" was missing. It was in fact a rod which passed right through the bobbin. Because it wasn't valuable, I cut a suitable short length from an aluminium knitting needle of the right diameter and tapped that in. Don't think anyone would notice that it's aluminium rather than pewter as they are both grey, and the bobbin is complete and useable again.
