A short web article by Brian Lemin reviewing the ways antique lace bobbins were repaired by bobbin makers and lacemakers. It covers the cricket bat splice for broken necks, re-riveting of bone bitting, ceiling wax and other fixes for chipped heads, pewter inlay problems, and spangle fixings. The author notes the limited evidence for repairs and speculates that some splices were part of original construction.
