[HNW] Clockwork bobbinlace "pillow"

[Martha Fletcher]

I agree, It's a pretty cool tool but I've never seen one before.

Looks like an ordinary bobbin lace making roll, 
there is nothing machine like at it at all. Just a funny stand for the 
roll.

Srsly.
 
The 
"Mundillo"
 
Auction No. 250737101349 on www.ebay.com.  Seller says it was invented 
about 500 years ago in Spain, then invention was taken to the New World and is 
still used in Puerto Rico.  I'm not sure about the early date, having seen 
nothing but regular pillows in the artwork, but it is a thoroughly fascinating 
little machine.
 
I'm not bidding - I don't even have bobbins yet, 
much less $200 for a tool I may never get around to using - nor do I know the 
seller.  I just thought somebody here would enjoy seeing 
this!
