Clay said "So the short answer to your question is that these bobbins aren't any more expensive than others, but they are more fragile, so the expense will be in breakage."
But on the other hand, I have probably a dozen glass bobbins and in 25+ years have only ever broken one. That was on my pillow, inside a bag, on a table and I was leaning over to see what someone the on the other side was doing and quite without thinking about it put my hand down on the bag to keep my balance. The bobbin broke clean across. However, in the last year or so I have had a run of wooden bobbins breaking - four now, I think, so like any other tool for any craft there is a need to replace at intervals. Aren't we lucky! I'm just a little extra careful with my special bobbins, whether that special-ness is from extravagance or sentiment.
