A short 2016 web article in which Brian Lemin describes two unusual lace bobbins he found in online auction listings. Both combine wood, bone, brass and pewter, and he analyzes their construction, decoration (knurling, turned rings, bitting-like cutaways, spangle beads) and resemblance to Jesse Compton bobbins. He concludes they are adapted or repaired bobbins, probably the work of a skilled turner, and is unsure whether they are modern or period adaptations.
