You can see a little peg at the top and there should be one at the bottom of the neck where you wind the thread. You were supposed to put a rubber band from peg to peg to keep the thread under control. Also not celluloid, I think nylon? at least some synthetic. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and this ain't him.

Re: [lace] Celluloid bobbins
H I have a couple just like those... I think they were designed by Margaret L. Brooke. That would be the'30's...hence just might be celluloid.

RE: [lace] Celluloid bobbins
Thanks for the info. I didn't notice the peg and now that you mention it I remember seeing a photo of one once. Book or magazine; maybe one of those old IOLI bulletins that are posted on the Professor's site? They would be a novelty to have; if I wasn't saving all my money to spend at the vendors in Denver!

Celluloid bobbins - they look like Fibre Glass ones to me - just using the mix in a mould, I have heard of them - but a long time ago.

[lace] Celluloid Bobbins
Fellow spiders, I rather doubt that the bobbins are celluloid as it is a rather delicate material and disingrates easily. You have to keep it away from light and heat. I have some midlands style bobbins from that era that are made of Bakelite that I got from England and Australia in very bright red, green yellow. They used to make jewelry (1930's -1940's?) and the handles for pots and pans from it up until 1960's or so. Also looking forward to hearing about the Sewing Matters (aka former The Embroidery Shop in Edinburgh, Scotland). I was in Edinburgh last October but only on Saturday when the shop wasn't open so I didn't get there. There is however a great lace shop just off the Royal Mile where I found some nice bone bobbins and a nice honiton lace jabot! It isn't open on Saturdays however. No bobbins at Edinburgh Castle or anywhere else that I asked so I had one of the bobbin painters in England make some for me!

Re: [lace] Celluloid bobbins
These look like some I have that are plastic - got them many years ago to use as gimp bobbins. I've also got Midland bobbins made of the same stuff. Celluloid? Nah - my vote is plastic.. .
