Hi Guys, Diana and i have been in correspondence about this Hanging
bobbin that is currently being offered on ebay.

It seems to us that it does not match up with what we would expect from
a genuine hanging bobbin. Clearly it has been scrubbed (!) but those of
you who have Springetts book should also look at his description of an
incident of fake bobbins (page 85)
I think I should offer the "buyer beware" advice.
Of course there may well be a collector who is interested in having it
as an example of what could, allegedly, be a fake! smile.
Thanks to Dianas sharp eye and access to the UK Ebay.
Brian
