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
<VBG> I think the "celluloid bobbins" date the seller as being in the youngster category... For me (aged almost 56; 23 of which were spent in - somewhat backward - Poland), the difference between the two "early plastics" (celluloid and bakelite) is quite obvious. For someone in their thirties or even early forties... :)
