Are these actually lace bobbins? What would you use them for?

[lace] Lace Boobins?

2013-12-30 Thread Brian Lemin
It is stating what everyone will know that they are not lace bobbins.  The
thing is What are they?

Well I looked up my sewing tools books and found nothing, so i am up for a
guessing game.

Say, Chopstick rests?  Knife holders?  Pretty things to look at!

There are vague likenesses to the Porthole Man bobbin maker... but very very
vague!

Frankly “I have not got a clue”

Watch the Sydney fireworks tonight.  They say they have some new colours!  To
me fireworks are fireworks.  I watch.. I say ahhh, then turn into bed as quick
as I can!

Happy New Year to you all.

Brian

Boy, those are strange!  No way they're lacemaking bobbins, but I have no idea 
what they could be for.  I wonder what that red stuff is poking out of the 
holes in the central one.  That might be a clue to their use.
