I believe a Stanhope - in this context - was a kind of C19th tourist
souvenir. There was a tiny lens that you looked through to see a
It's my understanding that copying pages for use in a class was covered
under the fair use clause of copyright. In other words, it would not
be a violation of copyright to use patterns from published books. Of
course, that may vary in other countries.

Looks like the top of something broken off - possibly another pen holder?
The Stanhope lens was invented by Charles, 3rd Earl Stanhope (1753-1816).
It was a rod-shaped hand viewer with two surfaces of unequal curvature, but
later the design was adapted to incorporate a curved magnifying

Hi Nicky and everyone else who is so kindly giving advice and tips -

Thanks so much for this advice, I wondered
I find this bobbinrather intriguing.
It seems quite possible that this was a bobbin but it is broken- sort of
half way down- the shaft.
It has the Hallmarks of coming from the E P Rose factory.
One would really need to see it to make up your mind if it was once a bobbin

A Stanhope (in this instance) is a little place (read hole in the side) you
look in and you can see a scene inside, sometimes it's a crest of some kind

Hi everyone
The ebay 'bobbin' isn't a bobbin, and likely a handle as others have
pointed out. The Stanhope as a novelty decoration for souvenirs was fairly
common. I have a photo (somewhere) of a needlecase in turned ivory, with
a Stanhope embedded in its lid-end.

Well, frankly, given the quality and size of the patterns I think this is a
pretty
fair deal. The copies look to be pretty clear and the seller (whose feedback is
quite strong) is very clear about what is on offer. If I'd realized these were
available before the auctions ended I would have bid

I think that one of the clues about what this item originally was, would
be the orientation of the picture in the Stanhope. Obviously, if it
started life as a bobbin, the Stanhope end would have been at the bottom...
and therefore the bottom of the picture would be in line with the short end
