Need help to ID some bobbins
This is the bobbin in question:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]502793[/ATTACH]
The pic makes the bobbin sides look curved, but they are flat.
I have 8 of these. One with the slot for the thread, the other 7 have a hole.
They are all the same size.
9/32" high x 27/32" OD.
Sew-Classic's bobbin info says that Pfaff bobbins should measure 11/32" high x 27/32" OD, and L Type should measure 5/16" (10/32") high x 13/16" (26/32") OD.
These bobbins are closer to the Pfaff measurements, but don't match either.
Are they Pfaff or L Type or what?

Jon,
Cool catalog pages I've gotta keep 'em for reference.
Mike,
I haven't tried them in the 319 yet. I'm gonna do that this morning. It was after 8:00 PM last night when the UPS driver got here with the package. He was running ragged.

Joe, another measure to take is the diameter of the hole. I have several that are similar in size but that is different. They look like those for the Free/New Home, especially if most have a tiny hole in one side.
I went and measured, and that is what my Free/New Home bobbins are.

I compared these bobbins to the 319 bobbins. These are so much narrower they will fit between the rims of the 319 bobbins and are also larger. So I doubt they'd work, they might not even fit in the bobbin case.

Also three of the bobbins with the little round holes ( both sides) are marked "GERMANY". The others are not marked.
