    Description

    I found these lovely Tatting Shuttles, many years ago, at a local estate sale
    This is the second plastic Boye shuttle & was introduced in the 1950's
    Green Plastic w/ a pick
    Stamped on (1st) side
    'THE BOYE NEEDLE CO.'
    'CHICAGO'
    (2nd) side
    'Boye'
    Measures approx. 3 1/8"L x 3/4"W x 3/8"H
    The 'Boye Improved' shuttle was patented on April 17, 1923
    It was constructed of one piece of folded metal and had a removable bobbin
    The folded end is squared off to hold the bobbin for easy winding. The other end has a hook
    Made of Nickel. I believe, this style was sold after 1947
    Stamped (1st) side
