Well I think that the bobbins are mass produced, so should cost about 1 USD / 1 Euro each when new, and the rings may have been for a curtain pole - or as Clay suggested just junk!

If you want to see pics of lace bobbins with little rings carved around them (as Patti suggested) have a look at:

There are two such bobbins about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Hmm. Gets even stranger. Here's another eBay auction of apparently the exact
same item, but by a different seller, for a different price, and this time with
a picture:

The rings are indeed separate, and this seller apparently doesn't know what
they're for either...
