Hi Jean,
Yes, the title does say lace bobbin, but the vendor doubts it with;
"Unusually large for a lace bobbin " . The grooves seem to be straight
rather than slightly skewed as they would be as screw-threads. On a table
cloth -possibly with an underlay which is soft- the item used as a knife
rest would not roll. As you say: rollers do not usually dip in the middle.
It could be plastic of some type, but would it be made as nicely? A door
curtain? I cannot see an opening nor is there any damage where the beads
would have 'clonked' against each other. And a starting bead of £4.99 seems
rather steep for a bit of plastic.

The title does say "lace bobbin". The word lace is missing from the
description.<.......

My favourite suggest is a bead for a door curtain, but I'm not convinced
about that.
