As far as modern bobbin makers go, I am aware of a bobbin maker in
England in the 80's who made ivory bobbins. He advertised in the Lace
Guild magazine at the time, and made beautiful bobbins with an
incredible finish. He even carved the bottom part that holds the
spangle...into bells, hands, etc.
His name was David Naylor. His bobbins had his initials inscribed into
the top of the head of the bobbin.
Also, a Randy Anthony in Georgia did scrimshaw and for a time somewhere
in the late 80's to early 90's, made lace bobbins. I do believe he even
attended at least one IOLI Convention....He actually made flat sided
square bobbins for awhile, before he started turning them into round
shapes. He would make designs by request.
