Whilst idly combing the net (like you do in COVID!) I have discovered that they found bobbin fragments at a digging in Sydney rock (probably years ago.
Here is the thing.. all i know about UK bobbins and I do not have clue about Oz bobbins! Findings: The Material Culture of Needlework And Sewing A Google book Page 159. Yep i have sent the an email to find out more. They claim a piece of an Honiton was found..they have a pic of probably a south bucks, but more likely a continental bobbin. We will see what comes of this. BTW American readers, they have also uncovered bobbin stuff at "Five Points" excavation. Anyone know about their findings? -- Brian Cooranbong.
