Wendy, I have some bone bobbins - both new and antique, and I have not had any break.
I have one with 1842 engraved on it - and it is as good as new - well, almost - it has made many miles of lace I would think!! If you fancy some bone bobbins - Go for it. With the usual care, they will last forever. Just don't drop them - or sit on them, etc!! Mine are all used frequently, and just kept with all the others when they are off the pillow in a plastic container in a drawer. (3 and/or 4 litre Ice-cream containers are great for holding lots of spare bobbins!!! :)) ) Regards from Liz in cold, grey, damp Melbourne, Oz.
