Well, I hadn't thought to look at the Springett book, but when I did,
there it is... (page 73) And David identifies this as ivory - saying it
is a rare example. But... he also says it was made in the early 20th
Century, so if this is true, then it had nothing to do with the Crystal
Palace Exhibition.
And interesting, because I had always assumed it was bone...
Thanks, Jacquie, for pointing me in a good direction for more information!

Clay, do you think your bobbin bone or ivory? Anyone, if you can put your
hand on the Springett's book, can you find a similar bobbin and date the
manufacture?
