We can add the late Mr. Le Grande, Vancouver BC, who turned many many bobbins of the same midlands style for sale to lacemakers in the BC Lace Clubs of the time - c. 1970 through 1990 maybe? Perhaps someone from the area could refine the information. I've forgotten his first name. The bobbins are distinctive in shape, multipurpose. I learned BL with some, then had my first lessons in Honiton with them, unspangled. (admittedly I soon found the real Honiton bobbins were much better). I still use those I bought for lace lessons back in 1987.
