The mystery bobbin appears identical to the vintage Husqvarna bobbins in my model 1030 from the early 1970s, and our Husqvarna Viking 105 from the mid-eighties. These bobbins have ONE hole on ONE side; both sides are slightly crowned, and have what appears to be a seam in the middle of the bobbins reel (I just made up that term...)

The outside diameter is 61/64ths of an inch; thickness is just a hair over 31/64ths. I'll try to post some pics of the bobbins from our Viking Husqvarna Classica 105, which my
Mom bought around 1995 (probably one of the last years Husqvarna was made in Sweden.

There have been a couple -

Also I was wondering if the middle one is solid on both sides. Seems like Elna bobbins look similar but has holes on one side and solid on the other.

Go to superiorthreads.com. They have a wonderful chart on the different kind of bobbins, the diameter, wide, etc of each type.

The middle bobbin looks like a class 66 bobbin.
