A June 2011 collector's article by Brian Lemin on antique English hand carved and chip carved lace bobbins. It gives a short history of chip carving and proposes a classification (utilitarian, turned and carved, hand carved; cylindrical or square; church window, lantern, mother and babe, artistic carving). A photographic gallery of bobbins from the Luton Museum, Fitzwilliam Museum and private collections illustrates the types, with notes on East Midland and South Bucks styles and on telling turned bobbins from fully hand carved ones.
