I was recently given quite a few midlands bobbins by a lace maker who had stopped making lace and there are quite an assortment. Plenty of different woods and some which seem to be quite a good quality plastic but one stands out as different. It is white and has the wire twisted down the shank and is a bit heavier than the rest. I am expecting it to be bone because of that but there dont seem to be any flecks in it at all. Some had been gifted to the lady by their previous owner who had retired before that. Normally I just have the bobbins I have bought or have been bought but end up using certain ones that work best for me in that they are nice to handle and hold sufficient thread for whatever pattern I decide to make. Is there somewhere where I can look at images of bone bobbins. It is just plain apart from the wire twisted through it, not like one I just saw on ebay. I am not concerned with worth, buying or selling, but interested to understand what it is that I have. Many thanks Sue T Dorset
