A friend has asked what she should do about some old bobbins she has been given, that have been repainted.
"... four old lace bobbins, one of which appears to be ivory (truly) and the others bone! Two of the bone ones have been somewhat vandalised to my mind by having their grooves inexpertly repainted with thick blue and red paint. Quandary:- should I remove this paint or might it be original? If not original should I leave it as part of the bobbins' history? ..." I would appreciate any help and advice that I can pass on to her. It does not sound as if the paint will wear off with use, so what should she do? Try to remove it, or leave well alone?
