This antique set of Southern Weaving Loom Wooden Boat Flying Shuttles, bullet-shaped with metal caps, is a rare find for collectors of sewing memorabilia. The two shuttles, measuring 19.5 inches long, 2 inches wide and 1 5/8 inches deep, were manufactured by SH and are in original condition. The set includes pirns or spindles used for winding thread onto the shuttles.These shuttles were used on weaving looms to produce intricate patterns on fabrics. The brand, SH, is a mark of quality and craftsmanship. This set is perfect for collectors of antique original sewing items and those interested in the history of textile production.
Please note that there is a crack approximately 3 1/2 inches long in the shuttle with the green pirn which looks as if someone glued it together a long, long time ago (see last two photos of both sides of the shuttle indicating the crack).
