I've just sold some of my collection of foreign bobbins, including a bone Maltese and a bone one from Bayeux. Both were old/antique and slightly smaller and slimmer than the wooden types.

Therefore I've been thinking that I should put some of my best bobbins on display to admire. This brought me to wonder about bobbins during the days of professional lacemakers.
