Hornsby UK definitely still sell their wonderful plastic bobbins, I buy them in batches of 100 for 15 Pounds Sterling to keep on hand for my beginners, and I have many in use - when on the pillow, they really do seem the same weight and are the same size as my other midlands - bought another batch of the black (which do look like ebony on the pillow) only a few weeks ago.
I too use fingernail transfers to decorate bobbins, and cover them with either clear nail polish or folk art varnish. And what could be more gruesome than a bobbin commemorating a hanging? Something greatly sought by collectors!
