Re: [lace] eBay ?bobbins
Item number 160318638519 I cant find anything like it in the books!. I can guess: 1: A thread waxer. The wax would be in the hole and the thread passed through the slot! (?) 2: Ornamental ends for something! Say knitting needles?

RE: [lace] eBay bobbins
Ah, this guy is back, or it looks like it's the same guy. Be warned, he uses the same photo every time he lists bobbins, and you don't necessarily get the same assortment as in the photo. You do get 10 assorted antique French bobbins, and the photo is representative of the shapes and sizes, but if you bid because there's a certain shape in there that you adore, you may not get that one! I got two lots of bobbins from him, and I'm happy with the service, and was warned (I think by Clay) about the difference between the photo and what you get so I wasn't in any way disappointed or angry. I just want people to be aware that they're bidding on 10 antique French bobbins, but not on *those particular* antique French bobbins. Robin P.

Re: [lace] eBay bobbins
Robin is right - I think! I bid on the first lot he had some months ago, and was delighted with the group I got... they were, in fact, the ones pictures. But I was surprised to see *my* group of bobbins listed the following week - before I had even received mine!! I was a bit worried and wrote to him about it. At the same time, I wrote to the list and warned you about the situation... He replied that he was using the same picture to save the hassle of photographing each batch. I warned him that collectors are serious about what they are looking for, and he was opening himself up to complaints from buyers to ebay... He wrote back that he was mending his ways, and thanked me for the feedback. All of this correspondence with him occurred after I had written to Arachne... So if you're interested in the bobbins (and those fat garlic French bobbins are wonderful...) you might want to just write to him and ask if the bobbins he will ship are, in fact, the ones pictured. I got a great group which included six of the garlic (my term... but that's what they make me think of...), and four du Puy - all of which are essentially the same size, but no two are alike... And they look very old.
