Most of the edgings are Leavers machine, number 2 is Barmen machine, 6,
8 & 9 are chemical lace and 10 is Swiss embroidery.
The smallest doiley is machine tape put together by hand, the circular
doiley beside it could be anything, the picture isn't good enough to
tell, the oval doiley is Leavers with a bit of Barmen around the edge,
the smaller hankie is probably Leavers. The bigger hankie might just
be BL, or it might be Barmen - again the picture isn't good enough to
see what the corners are like.
I see the seller is in Robin Hood county! That's no more a place than
is 'Hot-pot county', 'Pork pie town' or 'Tartan kilt land'
It's a pity the Trade Descriptions Act can't be enforced against Ebay
sellers!

Is any of this hand made? I don't think any of it is, apart from the
tape lace doily. I'd say the rest of it's machine made - the broderie
anglais most certainly is. There's definitely no Honiton included, and
Nottingham is a machine process anyway.
