A dated Honiton stick lace bobbin from East Devon. The wood is undecorated towards the tail but is inscribed JM and WM at the head and also the year 1815. The rest of the decoration is made up of tiny nicks made by a blade and filled in red and black.
10cm long and quite slender.
It is in good condition but the very top of the wood, above the thread, is worn on one side.
