They're listed as lace making bobbins, they've got thread wound on them and
they could be used as lace bobbins. But if they are lace bobbins, where do
they come from? If they're not, what are they? The only impression of scale
is the thread.


My guess is that they were *copied!* from proper bobbins by someone (possibly in India?) by someone who didn't have a clue about what the original was for.

The description is a bit misleading though, they are offered as 'Five lacemaking bobbins' but I counted six in the picture - wonder which one the seller is keeping for his/her self?
