Two unusual Tartan Ware thread winders in the 'Louise' pattern. One is a star shaped winder and the other a winder cum pin wheel. They are in one of the rarer tartan designs and also have the diamond design registration mark on them for 1870.
NB. The Princess Louise Tartan was created for the wedding of Princess Louise, who was Queen Victoria's daughter, to the Marquis of Lorne who later became the Governor General of Canada.
The star shaped winder is in perfect condition. The other has a blemish at the end of one of the arms which appears to be an original fault (see last photo) but there are no other issues.
Both are 5cm in diameter.
