[lace] Another bobbin on ebay - look at this

[Jean Nathan]

Doesn't the middle section of this dip pen look almost identical to the 
bobbin on ebay?

I reckon it's the middle section of a dip pen like this with the pen holder 
missing from what looks like the broken end. The letter opening blade's been 
broken off the other end, and that end smoothed.

Jean, What an excellent observation!

We really need to see it to see just where it is broken.

Never mind.

[lace] another bobbin on EBay

Clay has a good case for an awl.  I have looked at it again and if it were a 
handle then the handle part would be parallel, but these are tapered, which 
probably be suitable for an awl.


I have just stopped writing this email to look through my collection of 
resource books and I cant find anything like it in any of them.


It may well not be a sewing tool or sewing trinket at all.

Frankly, I no real idea except that we are all agreed it is nota lace 
bobbin.
