Thanks to all who answered my question. I guess I didn't stop to think
that it could be a part of a machine. <duh>

They are the "bobbins" used in lace machines - can't remember which
of the machines uses them, but not the Barmen machine, might be the

the (now long gone) Lace Centre in Nottingham some years ago.
