A few years ago I coordinated some very interesting "identification" of materials used for bobbins and indeed other things too. I recall borrowing that book for reference material. Now, I am not saying that the reference the Mullers is not there, particularly as I was not looking for such an entry, but I scan almost every book I see for a bit of serendipity regarding bobbins of needlework tools. I do not recall the entry.

Hi,

I had a reply to the question of which reference book that they had used.
Quote "The information we gave you comes from a book called "The Antiques Care
and Repair Handbook" by Albert Jackson & David Day on page 192, hope this
helps."

As I don't have the book I'm none the wiser, but I think that Tonnie is
correct so I'd love to know what this reference book says to make them so sure
that these Mullers are used for lacemaking.

Knew some one would know.  Spiders to the rescue:-)))

 I think this seller needs to double check the definition for Muller -
 The Glass Muller is used for grinding pigment and dispersing the pigment
into an oil or water base. It is used on an even grinding surface such as
glass or marble. The base of the muller is ground perfectly flat and has a fine tooth surface that is ideal for grinding pigment. The Muller is designed to mix paint pigments thoroughly with whatever base the artist chooses to use.
