I also have a bobbin winder that my husband got for me for my birthday last year. He found it at an antique store. I would love any info that anyone can share with me on history or what they think of it and so on. I have put pictures of my winder up on my blog. The url for my blog is: http://celticdreamweave.blogspot.com/ I thank you very much in advance for taking a look. I also have some pictures of my lace, painting and so on I have done lately. There are also pictures of my brand new grandson Peyton Lee. I hope you enjoy yourselves while helping me in my quest for information.

Hi Sherry, The bobbins to fit in your winder are slender and the closed bottom seems to prevent spangled bobbins. Honiton bobbin are slender and don't have spangles. I suspect that the swift was a separate thingie behind the winder when it was clamped to the edge of a table since the clamp is turned 90 degrees from the direction of the bobbin clamp. That twist allows the bobbin to clear the rest of the winder and have a clear path to the swift. I do have an active imagination tonight, don't I?
