Another I don't know what it is so I'll call it a lace bobbin on Ebay. Bone,
turned, around three and a half inches long with a hollow centre. Any ideas?
My first though was to wind yardage as it's worked, but that would be straight
across the middle and not dip in.
It says it has a hollow centre, so one must be able to open it: a needle
case?

Looks (and sounds) more like a needle case to me.

If you want a non needlework tool suggestion, then a Knife Rest might fit
the bill. (Keep it off the table cloth!)\\\Oh well.

In my opinion it isn't a bobbin. I saw once a similar thing which was a needle
case.

Hi Jean and fellow Arachnids,
The listing does not say 'lace bobbin' but just bobbin. that could mean for
winding thread or even fishing lime on. The 'hollow centre; could mean the
waisted area, one never knows what people who are not in the know will call
things. It does not look as if it
I saw the threaded ends and was wondering if the 'caps' were missingthus
it would be some sort of needlecase or thimble holder. Just a guess.

I think it's a bead. One of those long beads from when they used to cover doors
with beaded curtains (very popular in the 60s)
The thin raised bands don't seem to spiral - they seem to be separate
decorative elements.

It's definitely a knife rest. I remember them from my childhood--those and

The title does say lace bobbin. The word lace is missing from the description.
I thought needle case, but with no ends, needles would fall out.
It's not clear if the grooves each end are a screw threads to take a screw on
cap or just rings.
Rollers for lace don't usually dip in the middle.

My guess is that it is a vintage turned piece-of-something-else.

Oh, wait - a curtain pull! You know, that handle that hangs on the end of the
cord that draws your curtains. The rings provide traction in your hand, you can
pull with your fingers wrapped around the smooth middle section. I see the
seller has confirmed that the hole goes right through the
My first thought was that it's a needle case. I have something similar in wood
which dates back to the 1980s or 1990s and would have been bought from one of
the many bobbin turners around at the time.
However, mine has a cap with a screw end which goes inside the main part. On

Or a fan pull for the cord of a ceiling fan. I had a secret pal give me a

Hello Becca and everyone
I think Sue is right, you probably mean safety pins.
I was intrigued by the use of bobby pins. I found an example:

At first I thought you meant reinforced heel not safety
I am such a dough head. I sent my 'oh no' to the wrong group. I am knitting a
pair of socks and the safety pins and pins. The short row heels I was looking
for used bobby pins which are what you use in your hair. Again, sorry.
