A short February 2011 web article by Brian Lemin examining a unique lace bobbin inscribed 'Elizabeth Jones', recently bought on eBay by collector Diana Smith. It describes the bobbin's size and shape, its engraver-style lettering, and the engraved fish and animal (probably a deer) below the name. It compares these features with South Bucks bobbins, East Devon fish motifs and the animals on the Fitzwilliam Museum's Shepherds bobbin, concluding the bobbin is of South Bucks type.
