I looked further, the 'spools' pictured are probably thread holders from
boat or fly shuttles (weaving)

Subject: Re: [lace] What are these "lacemaking bobbins" on ebay?
I've never seen anything like them, but I'm wondering if they aren't
some kind of peg used in all-wood carpentry. You see some of them have
metal bits married in, and in shape they're more like commonly
available metal nails and pegs than they are like lace bobbins! Can't
think what the spool thingies are for, though.
