Right, as promised I rummaged through my boxes and found the bobbin with the detachable head that I have and then spent another 20 minutes trying to find the spool of thread that came with it. I've done some shots of it and uploaded them to my website where I'm logging all my bobbins. It's on the unknown makers' page and you will need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find it. http://thelacebee.weebly.com/unknown-makers.html Because the shots came out rather well I've managed to enlarge the details more than they are on the spool and did a quick search for the maker. There is a very small reference to it in google books and I've put the reference to this as a link on the page. I bought the bobbin from De Denne in Kenton, North West London - long gone from the place it was as the bridge it was on over the railway has even gone and been moved about 20 metres away. Does anyone know what happened to the shop? There was a wonderful needlecraft shop in Pinner that also went about the same time - c. 1993.
