Re Antique bobbin. One bobbin maker uses, rather infrequently, a red cross-hatching band above and below his inscriptions. You can see a black and white example in Springett Page 2 fig 1.2 MARTHA.
I have posted a colour version on my photobucket page at the following URL http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff260/Brido2/Cross%20hatching/ [I think that will all come out on the list (The URL I mean)] If you happen to have one of these in your collection I wonder of you would send me a personal email as I have a couple of questions to ask about them. Thank you PS It may, (or may not), have a wooden cricket bat splice as the head/top of the shank. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
