Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Well I think that the bobbins are mass produced, so should cost about 1 USD / 1 Euro each when new, and the rings may have been for a curtain pole - or as Clay suggested just junk! If you want to see pics of lace bobbins with little rings carved around them (as Patti suggested) have a look at: http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/paternoster/lace/bobbins/specials.html There are two such bobbins about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Aah! now this link does take me to bobbins!! My advice would be - if you're interested in the bobbins, buy them, and plan to throw away the rings!!

Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Well, from the picture in the second posting you found, I believe that the rings have nothing at all to do with lacemaking in general. It may be that someone designed something which uses the rings as a permanent part of the construction, but without any other information, I'd say those rings are just junk being shipped from the seller's house to your house!!

Hmm. Gets even stranger.

Re: [lace] rings for lacemaking?
Hi, I found someone selling bobbins on eBay: "You are about to bid on 14 new wooden belgian lace making bobbins. There are 4 rings included.". (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=28151&item=8139731075&rd=1) Does anyone have any idea what the rings are for? The seller doesn't know. Weronika -- Weronika Patena Caltech, Pasadena, CA, USA http://vole.stanford.edu/weronika HI Weronika, Rings are a woodturning trick. While turning the bobbins, the woodturner shows off their control and finesse by working a captured ring. English bobbins often have metal rings called jingles. I wouldn't buy anything without a picture to see what you are getting. I have Czech bobbin with a carved captured ring, I'll put a picture up on the Arachne webshots.
