I should have added that my reason for saying this was that I was given one which seemed to be just like these - it was painted with nail varnish. The letters were painted over the dots and beyond in yellow, the main bobbin was dark red, the rings dark green - look hideous! Acetone removed the nail varnish revealing a natural bone bobbin with red and black making the letters and in a row down the back and with red rings, but it was wrecked because the nail varnish was still in the very fine hairline cracks found naturally in bone. I should have kept it as an example of what not to do, but gave it to my niece, who gave it to someone else.
