I thought I had some information and pictures about them, but a couple
of
months ago I accidentally formatted my data disk and lost every thing.
I did
have all my English stuff backed up but clearly not my continental
stuff
(that will learn me!)
I found this URL which will be a good starter.

I believe it was/is a lace making area. My French geography is not
good
enough to tell you where.
They used short stubby bobbins highly and interestingly hand carved.
It is
an area that is quite tourist centered and in modern years they
produced a lot
of wooden carved objects for tourists and bobbins were part of this
for some
time. The last time I tried to get one I was told that they had
stopped
producing them.
I discovered them from an article in a lace journal ( I forget which,
probably
IOLI) some years ago, I was immediately fascinated by them.
