I probably see one or occasionally a so called set, say 2 or three times
a year.
They are probably the most expensive bobbins and indeed if we are
looking at quality... overpriced. However they are a significant social
history bobbin and understandably well sought after.
I have some problems about recommending certain sites and newsletters to
enable you keep your eyes open for them coming up in auctions. Most
appear to be sold by a couple of the bigger auction houses and not so
much on sites like eBay.
My problem is that people who already subscribe to the said auction
house newsletters often give me a serve as my recommendation tends to
"put prices up"!! They are nice about it and do not "flame me"
I suggest that if you are a potential buyer then do a bit of research
and you will find the best potential sources.
Re ..Rare, Would need to put these in a rare category. There are quite
number in existence but owners tend to want to keep them

I think that Brian Lemin would be the best person to say how often they come
up. I can't think of any in recent years.

I know they don't come up on the market very often, so I thought I'd put out
feelers on Arachne and register my interest! Please let me know if you hear
of any for sale, it doesn't need to be any particular bobbin or an
especially rare one.
