I seem to remember many years ago my mother having curtain rings very like
those. They had to be sewn onto the curtain material and the curtain wire
was threaded through them - could be wrong though ;o)

Brenda and everyone
They look like embroidery 'stilettos' where you poke a hole in the fabric
and stitch around. There were some of bone, in a great-aunt's sewing box.
The rings, maybe to cover with stitching as for buttons? or for another
closure system?

Hello
I have been sent a photo of some "lace bobbins and lace rings" which came
from two elderly Dutch ladies who said they are ivory. I personally
don't
think they are ivory or lace bobbin but would be interested to know what
anyone else thinks they are/were used for. Please have a look at
