I make bobbin lace, but I have never seen anything like this before.

I learned to make bobbin lace years ago when I lived in Suffolk. Loved it but have not had it out for a while. Hope I remember!

It looks like a bobbin for Bobbin Lace. I have never made it but I have watched demonstration several times. There usually is several threads and each has it's own bobbin.

I would say the round ring just holds all the bobbins together. You would take them off the ring to make the lace.
