I came across the following on ebay today: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=114&item=6112829488
I remember a mate to this bobbin that appeared on eBay several years ago. As I remember it, the bobbin was found on a historical dig that yielded other artifacts dated to the 16th century. That's why the bobbin was also dated thus.
The other bobbin was tinted greenish, so it looks like this is a different bobbin but the same style.
The price on the other bobbin went way beyond what my 'pocket snake' would allow me to pay for one bobbin -- no matter how old. However, I had Kenn van Dieren make me some from that same design which I have enjoyed using.
The price on this one has not gone as high as the other one -- at least, not yet. There's still over a day to go.
Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon --- where it's hot and dry, with lightning storms.
