[lace] Re: Springett collection auction

[Tamara P. Duvall]

Although they tend now to be all called lace makers lamps I think that 
they must have been widely used by anyone who needed extra light for 
reading, writing etc before the days of oil or electric light
Quite so. In my stamp collection, I have a Slovenian one with a picture 
of a stand, with glass globes suspended from it (3 are visible) and 
(presumably) a light-source in the centre. I keep it with my lace 
tools stamps, even though it's described as shoemaking light. 
Kleinhout (from whom I got the series - 3 stamps, of which only that 
one is somewhat relevant) did warn me that it was not a *lacemaker's* 
lamp, but, since it's close enough in concept...

To see the lots, go to www.antiquestradegazette.com

You will need to register to see the lots.  When you do a Lot search, I
found using just the term bobbins seemed most effective to see the bobbins,
even though it brings up some non lace related items .  Using lace as a
search term cut out some of the lots of bobbins.
