I'll have a rummage, at the weekend, and see if I can't find the spool and the bobbin. L

The style of bobbin is a well known style and I doubt if we pulled the heads of these bobbins they would come apart! I would suggest the detachable head style was made for this system. Thank you indeed for thinking about me. Working on the Metropolitan Museum collection of bobbins at the moment (104 of them) . Most interesting. Two of Gertrude Lawrence's illustrations are in the original. The fabulous spangle (Which I plan to write about) and the Gorgous Italian glass bobbin. If they will let me publish I might do a "Bobbin Gems from the Met" article. Of the 104 probably say a dozen are of some merit. I noticed two "bugger" bobbins amongst them. I will need to tell you about that type of bobbin another time. It is a real thing but a fun thing! :) PS those who know me will know that I do not use the above B word in my vocabulary! Having fun!
