7 Shuttles purchased Online or at the tatting day in Hector, NY (2005 / 2006) Ia England Aero (post style) The England shuttles are part of an Ebay auction I won ($90); stated the shuttles were from the 1930s to 1960s Ib England Aero (bobbin style) Ic England Aero vs. German one (lower on), you can see that the bumps that hold the bobbin are much smaller, also, the England shuttle is a harder plastic so it is harder to get the bobbin in and out. II No marking on this metal shuttle that was part of the England ebay purchase. It s a heavier metal than the newer Boye metal shuttles. The Tatting Shuttles of American Collector s 2002 book states that Aero did make a metal shuttle before the plastic one, so this may be an Aero.
