has any one ever seen those little sparkly designs they put on long

over? they should be.

My first bobbins are easily recognisable because they have little transfers
of the Muppets on them :o) Varnish works well to start with but, in my
case at least, over the past 15-20 years the varnish has started to go soft
and you can scrape the varnish and transfer off some of them now with just
a fingernail. Nail varnish might work better than wood varnish, but I
haven't tried it.
