The one with the red spangle (possibly a dragon) is believed to be a Mr.
Shaw Deceased. (With apologies if this is not correct!)
The two bobbins that include blue spirals seem to be attributable to Stephen
Pearce.
The Pinned spiral seems to have been made by John Ford and it is possible he
won a design award for this piece of magnificent work.
There are two other bobbins: The multi Church Window and the Rosette. and
the thinking is that this could be the Archer family, father and or son
(maybe one of each.?)
Thank you for those who contributed to this "but" it is not over yet so keep
your ideas coming, either confirmation of these makers or clarification.
I am indebted to all who have contributed to this first stab, especially to
my bobbin "partner in crime" who is the font of all bobbin knowledge and I
just blab my mouth telling you what she knows! :)
