Oh no! They are old, but the 'Susan' one has recently been painted green,
with the bits around the name left blank. The 'Fanny' one has been painted and
the letters painted over. The bands appear to have been 'enhanced' as well.
Both completely wrecked. They wouldn't have been like that originally. Old
stained bobbins are *usually* red or green, and the parts that would be
handled and exposed to the air would be faded.

[lace] bobbins on e-bay

2005-12-19 Thread Malvary J Cole
This seller has several bobbins for sale with 4 hours or so to go and no bids.
Do you think these are genuinely old?  The colour is very green and the
lettering in orange and yellow.  Are they new ones made to look old, or old
ones made to be more eye-catching.  The others listed by the same seller are
perhaps suspicious too - long names with the letters alternately coloured.

I am always looking for bobbins with my family names in them, so was
interested in Fanny.
