On the whole folks seem to be OK with basic restoration.
Most seem to expect that the spangle wire has been replaced at some time in
the past.
It seems the bobbin needs to be useable, and therefore look nice.
Just before I decided to drop this note I went on ebay and this item number
Same idea but different artist.

This is an issue with conservators in museums as well. On the one hand the
public really does not want to see things that are so badly damaged that they
cannot visualize what they looked like originally. On the other hand, the
public may be staring at the reconstructed part and thinking it is the

Is this the same lady you were referring to who cuts lacy patterns in metal?
What is the name of the show
Sorry -- left out one detail. The TV program is called Oregon Art Beat.Â
Thursday night 8pm. On the TV schedule, the metal artist is listed first so
may be at the start of the program. I'll let you know when it can be seen on
the web.

As both a bobbin lacemaker and a tatter, I would say that all items like that
are meant to be used. There's something ethereal about using a 'tool' that
has seen other hands on it over a number of years. I would repair a spangle
that broke, using the original beads where possble.

antiques, but I do not see the point in keeping something that is broken,

Lace bobbins should be used and loved, just as they were in their heyday. Just
The program showing the lady who cuts lacy patterns in old car bodies will be
on this week Thursday at 8:00pm Pacific Daylight Time on Oregon Public
Broadcasting (channel 10 locally). After it shows, it will be available on the
OPB website. When it has a web address, I'll let you know. I
Brian asked whether we should restore old bobbins or leave them in poor
state.
I think you should ask why you want the bobbin. Do you collect bobbins as a
collection of old bobbins or is this bobbin one you want to use? If it the
latter, then a certain amount of restoration is necessary.
