Re: [lace] Kings and Queens of England

I think any old bobbin with an inscription which includes 'King' should be
viewed with the fact in mind that this is a very common surname in the East
Midlands area.

On the other hand names such as David and Samuel obviously could have biblical
connections.

I'd be interested in what you have pre 1700 Brian!

[lace] Kings and Queens of England

[Brian Lemin]

Hello all,

 

Following some correspondence with a member I am encouraged to write
something about "ROYAL" bobbins.

 

I have a reasonable collection or access to royal bobbins before say 1700.
Do any of you have a collection of royal bobbins say from 1800 onwards?

 

If you have nice collection of same, why not write the article yourself
rather than a scavenger like me?

 

I think it could be interesting as it would include modern bobbins as well
as antique bobbins which I specialize in.

 

Just beware of "King Richard", I am totally convinced that this bobbin
should be read "Richard King".

 

Get out your collection and wow us with what you have.

 

Give it a go.

 

Smiles

 

Brian
