Plumb Crazy Vintage is run by me, Joan Plumb. I've always loved the thrill of the hunt — the estate sale early mornings, the tucked-away antique malls, the joy of spotting something special that deserves a second life. I collect vintage, antique, and delightfully unique pieces that have character and make me smile. Every piece in the shop is chosen by hand and ready for a new home. I pack with care and ship the first business day after purchase. Your purchase helps fund my local food bank.
PAIR OF 2 VINTAGE INDUSTRIAL WOODEN BOBBIN FINIALS - SMALL TURNED SPOOL ENDS - 3 INCH
Wonderful matched pair of authentic vintage textile bobbin finials - the turned wood end caps from large industrial mill bobbins. Also called spool tips, spool ends, or bobbin tips.
These are solid turned wood with a great primitive shape - bulbous vase / teardrop body with a small foot on the bottom and a cup / hollow top. The bottom of each has the original 6 small rectangular pegs that locked into the bobbin shaft (see close-up photos). Top has a deep hollow center hole.
Perfect for so many uses now:
• Replacement finials to repair / restore a large wooden bobbin spool
• Tiny rustic bud vase / dried flower holder
• Mini candle holders - holds a small taper, birthday candle, or incense stick
• Craft projects - doll bodies, angels, snowmen, finials for furniture, tiered tray decor
• Primitive bowl filler / shelf decor - look great paired with your larger bobbins
DETAILS:
• Authentic vintage industrial salvage - not reproductions
• Solid turned hardwood with beautiful dark walnut patina
• Matching pair - same turner, same wood, slight variation in grain which is normal
• Hollow top cup + flat footed base + 6-peg notched bottom
CONDITION:
Good vintage condition. Shows age and wear - light surface wear, patina, minor scuffs from age. No cracks or chips. Solid and sturdy. See all photos.
MEASUREMENTS:
Approx 3" tall x 2" wide at widest bulbous point
