I have 1 bobbin I've talked to so far. It's a family Antique, and I have no idea who the Charles is on the bobbin from 1842, and where he fitted into the family history, but I did ask him very nicely to not give me trouble while I worked on a piece of Lester lace in class with Holly VS 2 years ago. Charles did seem to respect my request, and the bobbin behaved itself :-) Maybe it's because I have him working away on my projects, and he likes that. Who knows :-)
I do have some aluminium, brass, and brass tipped bobbins. I don't use them much except for gimps, as the weight seems to help me keep my gimps in order. I do love the brass tipped wood one I bought many years ago from someone associated with the group in Canberra. It's a nicely turned wood, and the brass is milled beautifully, and it's just a very pleasing bobbin to use.
