Add a bit of history to your country home. These old bobbins were once used in the textile mills. By the mid 1900's wooden bobbins became a thing of the past. Most bobbins were destroyed or thrown away. Wooden bobbins are now becoming increasingly valuable as they become increasingly rare. Many people use their old bobbins as candle holders. For a great look, have an old basket sitting by the fireplace full of different shapes and sizes!

They May also be hung on a wall or simply set upright on a shelf. Old style architectural stars are a great addition to your country home and make for a great conversation piece!
