I must say that the Bobbin Brown hanging bobbin - that went for over $300, I
think, looked very similar to my hanging bobbin - and I know that mine is
genuine as it has been passed down through the family.
1868 - my Great Grandmother would have been 8 years old. Maybe it was
bought for her, or belonged to her mother.
I have a bone bobbin with her name on it and 1864, (badly worn away through
use). I wonder if it was to commemorate her starting at Lace School. She
would have been 4 years old.
What a pity all this history is lost forever. No-one took much notice of
those sorts of things until recently - when it is too late!
