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.. . Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA Just ran across this lot of celluloid bobbins on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19158&item=8198621894&rd=1 Has anyone seen these before? I've never heard of bobbins made of celluloid. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
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!

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.
