They're listed as lace making bobbins, they've got thread wound on them and they could be used as lace bobbins. But if they are lace bobbins, where do they come from? If they're not, what are they? The only impression of scale is the thread. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=

Well, 1950s qualifies as "antique" (greater than 50 years old), and that's after I was born! I have pondered the need for another term for the stuff I'm looking for (pre-1900s) and I can sympathise with the person using "ancient" instead of "antique". Yes, Robin, I've always heard that "antique"
