Dear Devon and other spiders
I now have a copy of the (printed) catalogue for the 15/16 December auction. There is quite a lot of lace, as well as costume and other textiles. Apparently it is only 'part 1' of the Springett Bobbin collection.
Seven lots (595-601) are identified as from the Pat Earnshaw Collection: they are all needlelace, mostly early Italian or French, and are obviously museum quality items. Alas, only one is illustrated. They'll come up for sale, as will the bobbins, on the second day 16 Dec 2004
I shall try and get to the viewing before the sale, and will report back.

I just returned home to find a message on my phone alerting me to the
Springett auction. The caller, however, said that the auction featured Pat
Earnshaw's lace as well. Does anyone know about this? I looked through the lots
and
couldn't identify what it would be. A search of the word Earnshaw didn't help
either.
