Re: [lace] Hanging bobbin
Hi Carol Hanging bobbins are not nearly as rare as people think in fact the Castle/Bull/Worsley ones are common probably because their crimes were committed in the lacemaking area lots of these commemoratives would have been sold and because of their oddity value would have been treasured. The rare ones are Sarah Dazeley - don't know if one actually exists, there isn't one listed in the Huetson collection catalogue nor is there a Lilley brothers, there may be one in a museum somewhere, I would love to know if anyone has any info. Franz Muller are quite rare probably because his crime was not connected with lace land likewise Miles Weatherhill, who was sentenced for murder on 9th March 1868 and executed on 6th April 1868. In 1867, Miles Weatherhill fell in love with Sarah Bell who was working as cook for Rev Anthony Plow, the vicar of Christ Church, Todmorden,Yorkshire.The vicar refused permission for Miles to call on Sarah and she returned to her family in York, Miles followed her to persuade her to return to Todmorden. She refused, and in a rage, Miles returned to Todmorden on 2nd March 1868, broke into the vicarage and killed the vicar, the vicar's baby daughter, and Jane Smith, a servant. He was tried and hanged at Manchester. There must have been very strong feelings nationwide over this dreadful crime at the time hence the bobbins being produced.

Hi All, I was told ages ago - and I really have no idea by whom, where or when! - that hanging bobbins, being so rare, could go for amounts upwards of several hundred pounds sterling. Way out of my league, I am sorry tosay, as I would love to own a bit of history like that! Carol - Suffolk UK.

Re: [lace] Hanging bobbin
Huetson is one of my favourite reads, if stranded on the proverbial desert island Huetson and Thomas Wright would be two of my choices to be stranded with - books that is ;)) I have a handful of bobbins which came from Huetsons collection acquired a few years ago when the collection was split up. My Joseph Castle hanging bobbin is the one illustrated on page 161.

Re: [lace] Hanging bobbin
Thank you, Diana, for that information! The Heutson book is old enough for me to question the "facts" as they are presented. However, it is still an interesting book, and as long as I know how far to trust it, I'll continue to enjoy it!!
