A short illustrated article by Mrs. Head on collecting pillow-lace bobbins. It describes English bobbins of bone and wood from the Midlands, Home Counties, Devon, Oxfordshire and Yarmouth, covering their inlays, wire and bead decoration, inscriptions, and the beaded "jingles". It ends with foreign bobbins from Portugal, Brussels, Russia (Vologda), Normandy, Spain, Italy and Malta, including bobbins with movable sheaths. Three plates show the bobbins discussed.
