A gentleman named Mr Shaw I believe from Doncaster was making a lot of bone
bobbins, I would think during the early nineties.
Also Tony Archer (later son, Ben) - if you had to join a long waiting list
then it would have almost certainly been him.
Good luck Carrie.

The inner edge is chemical, the outer edge looks to be Valenciennes -
possibly handmade.

I am sorry that i have been away and not had access to my email.
Just a bit off topic... my wife fell and fractured her skull (temporal and
mastoid) whilst we were away; 5 days in high depoendency, multi scans,
mental tests etc etc. Very scary; but she is making a slow but positive
recovery.
Again, is the price paid their worth?
And yes it was Malcolm Fielding. That name rings a bell..
I also used the bobbins in teaching lacemaking (which my ex turned into a tax
deduction) so I am wondering if the tools of the trade argument that was
raised by a gentle soul earlier may not be
I bought mine in the mid 1990's... Dont' know if Mr Pollard was still working
then. As I've said I do know I bought Malcolm Fielding bobbins.

Dear Tamara:
We spoke many years ago, and I have quietly enjoyed your posts over the years.
Thanks for the sound advice.
Best regards for health and happiness (and I hear the message that included a

I was interested to read Brian's analysis, since he has actually tracked
these things. Yes, it was certainly an interesting test case when the

Surely that means that they are exactly that tools of the trade.
Unless you declared to the tax people that you are never going to
teach again, then you may take it up again and you can't unless you
have tools of the trade! Mind you, American law is probably different
to English law.
I have some aluminum bobbins which make such a wonderful sound when
lacing- does anyone know who the maker is/was and if they are still
making them? Marilyn on Whidbey Island ,WA where the sun is shining

This advise sounds like king Solomon
To be totally honest, if your husband thinks your bobbin
collection is worth $10,000, I think you should insist that
he take it as part of the marital settlement, it is the best
offer that you are going to get for it.

Hi,
Last night at our guild meeting at the local library, the librarian came in to
visit and told us about a trip she had taken to Ireland. She has come back
with a mission. She visited the Kenmare Lace Design Center where she saw
demonstrations of a local needlelace run by Nora Finnegan. The

Boy, have I typed that title hundreds of times! :-)
OK, I am despairing. After saving and planning, now my recent attempts to
purchase Further Steps in Honiton Lace by Susanne Thompson have been in
vain, copies sold only moments before me or websites showing as available,
but with old text.

I used to have a couple of aluminium hookies and they were made by
someone in Australia.
So, I got this, which, I think, can be safely forwarded to the
list-at-large, without offending Lauren. It seems that I was right
about the source of the aluminium bobbins. And, if so, then maybe
Shirley Tregellas herself will tell us whether those bobbins are still
available or not; I think
A number of people have posted suggestions on who the makers were, and you have
responded by whether the name sounded familiar. Another way to do this is to
look at the websites and old catalogues and see if the *style* is familiar.
Many bobbin makers have distinctive styles, especially the
