Hello Jean
For once an ebay seller does seem to have the description right!
They are used for stacking bobbins in an orderly fashion whilst working
on another section. The photo doesn't show how long the pin sticking
out of the round end is but it should be fairly substantial so that the
divider will stay upright at the side/back of the pillow.

There's a "lacemaking" item on ebay, which I haven't seen before - a
pair of lacemaking dividers. I realise that bobbin lace isn't the only
type of lacemaking, but I can't work out how it would be used, if it
is indeed for lacemaking of some kind.
