Just to let members know that I have removed two articles written over the years on England's oldest lace bobbin and amalgamated and added to this March upload. It is basically up to date unless you check all the dates on your Honiton Trolly bobbins (best place to look) 1662 is that date you have to beat! I suspect that there are a few more 1600 plus bobbins out there.
