Vintage Bobbin Spool and Old Spring Display
Vintage Bobbin and Spring Fall Display |
Bobbins and the machinery they ran on were some of the greatest inventions of the Victorian Era. Since most textile mills had their own machine shops and their own favorite shape of bobbin, we see many varied bobbin designs.
Recently I came up with the idea to combine vintage bobbin spools with old springs. I found these unique spools, which are different from most of the wooden bobbin spools that I've collected. Someone thought they might have been for quilting, but I can't find any reference to that. If you know specifically what they were used for, please let me know.
