Dear All,
Now I am getting myself all excited because as I was sorting out all my
Honiton bobbin files and genres I THINK I have discovered a railway engine,
complete with coal tender and some form of carriage (not for people) but a
container truck.
I have no date, BUT I may have scrounged
The 1662 "title" is wrong.
It should be
Englands oldest dated bobbin. It is 5 pages long.
I think you will find it as it is one article in a series as I have found
"older" bobbins.

I do beg your pardon.
