Bobbins hung up at Masson Mills

You will see that all the bobbins have a reference on them – either in ink or with a label, so that future orders could be referenced back to the example held.

In the Archives (no. 16) there is a complete record of where the bobbins were delivered to and orders received. This is the most comprehensive archive collection on the Bobbin industry in the world and starts in 1795 up until 1980.
