Just to let you know that even though this project is quite new a few exciting things have happened in the last few days.
A bobbin dated 1662 (possibly England's oldest dated bobbin) few new inscriptions recorded of special interest, besides my previous reporting of Queen Victoria, a Lady Horse Rider and Jousting match. All this is very exciting, but the thing is that all these finds were in "Plain Sight", all it took to find them was a special interest and kind request for owners to look at their decorated Honiton/Downton lace bobbins. In general I do not have enough bobbins to study and if you could contribute to this Project I would love to have a simple but sharp, picture of your decorated Honiton Downton bobbin. And a list of the inscriptions you may have on them. The pictures do not need special skill, just line up about 6 bobbins with a little space between them for each picture you send me. I would just love that. I am bursting with excitement. please do not let me deflate!! Smile I am sure we will all be amazed ay what will turn up, In plain sight" within your collection.
