RE: [lace] bobbin identification
Hi Fellow Arachnids, These bobbins are not Bucks point bobbins. I think they were probably made by a Dutchman living in the UK near Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells and who used to dabble in continental style lace bobbins. He never made two the same, although they were quite beautifully executed. All the silver inlay was sourced from silver scrap, such as broken silver propelling pencils, broken jewellery etc. It is a long time since I have seen him and I am afraid I will have to look through a lot of paperwork to come across his name which I havent got time for at present. But I would have thought that he has passed away as he was old even then (more than 25 years ago) and not a well man. Hope that helps a little. Happy lacemaking, Joepie in warm and mainly sunny Sussex, UK.

Re: [lace] bobbin identification
Dear Jo, Could you put some clear photos up on the Arachne site on Flickr, please? Without seeing the bobbins it is impossible to identify them. Even from photos it is not always easy. Happy lacemaking! Joepie in Sussex, UK PS. Sorry I don't know how to trim emails on my phone. Any instructions gratefully received. Thanking you in advance. J.
