Wow, Walrus Ivory?? Is it the same as Elephant Ivory? Same quality? Suddenly I am thinking about Narwhal Ivory! I am fascinated by Narwhals since they are the only ânaturalâ unicorns on the planet! Makes them ultra special! By the way, I am thrilled that Diana has real ivory bobbins! Personally, I wouldnât know a real Ivory bobbin if it leaped up off a lace pillow and smacked me in the face. Obviously they were an upper market item destined for lace pillows that were owned by middle to upper class lacemakers. Lower market lacemakers, who were making lace for income, would, most likely, have had bone and wooden bobbins. I am sure their bone bobbins were treasured even back then.
