Valuable W&W 9 bobbins
You may not believe this - I still find it hard to, but I had been watching an ebay auction for 5 W&W 9 bobbins. The photos showed they were the bagel or donut type. After 31 bids, they sold last night for $255.00 and $5.35 shipping. So I went to look an see how many of those bobbins were in my wooden box of attachments. I have eight of them!
Anyway, I know they are hard to find but never would have thought they were that valuable.

Glenda,
They fit the Wheeler & Wilson #9 and the Singer 9W machines, amongst others. Instead of being flat on the sides like a regular Class 15 bobbin or a 221 / 301 bobbin, the sides are curved. The look just like a miniature bagel or donut.

Glenda,
I thought I had a pic of the donut bobbin, but I don't.
Here is a GW auction for a Singer 9W. Look at the fourth pic down on the right side. That is the curved bobbin we are talking about.

Scared the dickens out of me. I bought a WW9 to refurbish. Got up immediately to check that it had the bobbin. Yeeea! It' there. Will guard it with my life. Looks like the bobbin is worth more than I paid for the machine

Not sure if this will work, but will try to attach the link to the ebay auction showing the pictures.

I think it works!
