Is it Pollytir? I have been purchasing bobbins from him and had suspected this because the spangles are all good and very, very similar. I don't know whether I have been doing the right thing, but as someone said in another message, we do want to restore our furniture, don't we? ....and the bobbins are soooo beautiful! I would love some good advice. Karen
