Vastator 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2020 I have a number of these bobbins, (see attached) and I have been trying to figure out who made them. There are no markings or anything to indicate who the manufacturer was. Is this familiar to anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2020 Those look very cool. Sorry I can't help you. The only draw back I can see with those is, you need to load the bobbing to use that bobbin holder. If the slim line configuration is more comfortable for you it might be worth it. Still, very nice. I might make some like that out of ivory. (You know, for the snobbier tiers) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vastator 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2020 The only negative I give it is that it cannot use standard bobbins. The hole on them are too small. I do like the tensioner on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrLogik 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2020 My guess is it was designed to re-spool off of a standard spool to fill its spool with thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petegray 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2020 The Rebel Triad Alliance... Those were the Daze ! Jay Smit (Jvice/Renaissance man) gifted me a “prototype” (the one pictured above)... fine tuned adjustable thread tension and robust... He opted for his brilliant and more ergonomic design (see photo of Jvice / Jbobbin)... Engineers always raise the bar ! Faruk Ekich (Damaseal/automatic bobbin) never ceases to amaze !
