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

Hello Brian and other arachnids The bobbins were once bought by a commercial pilot for his wife, now acquired by a museum owner. Enough to dress up a pillow with some bucks point. But is it a bucks point model? Some are rose wood and inlay of silver. Anyone any idea about the potential maker

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
