Malcolm Fielding spangled wood bobbins bought in 2003 cost me between $13
and $17 each. I guess the smooth finish, the intricacy of his turning, the
exotic woods and the importing from Australia all contribute to them being
more expensive than the average wood bobbin. However you can tell when
you've reached one on the pillow simply by touch. They are wonderful to work
with

I agree with whoever pointed out that most wood bobbins, no matter how
fancy the decoration, were well below $10 each in the '90s, probably more
like $5 each (less, for the simpler turnings). I think bone were mostly
around $10, maybe as much as $15 for the really fancy ones. Rather than
trying to identify and price each bobbin, if you use these values ($5 for
wood, $10 for bone) on the assumption that some of yours were more and
some were less, that should give you a reasonable assessment of your
collection's worth.
