Hi Brian and fellow Arachnids,
A very good idea. I would certainly take photos of my continental bobbins
and let you have them with what info I have.
Hope you have all found some time to make lace this Easter.
Happy lace making,
Joepie, sunny East Sussex, UK

You will know that I am passionate about lace bobbins. I started with the
East Midland genre, then moved on to East Devon bobbins and for some years i
have been urged to turn my mind to the bobbins of the European
continent.<......
.......>IF.... I can get enough people on side that have a reasonable
collection of
Continental bobbins and who are reasonably knowledgeable about them, I was
wondering if we could have a collaborative web page?
I would put up a web page of all that i have got (including dubious sourced
stuff!) you guys would look at it, see if you have got a real picture you
could take and send me of a bobbin that is illustrated from a book source
etc,
I would then replace the book illustration with your real picture .
There seems to be nothing out there that enables bobbin collectors to ID
their
continental bobbins. I have a private resource that goes a long way to
rectifying that (not all the way for sure)<.........
Brian
