Shuttle, estimate Mid-20th century
... Waddingston's ...
Example of a shuttle used for a loom in the weaving process. This shuttle was probably used as an advertising piece for Waddington's company as it is constructed differently to other examples of working shuttles in the museum collection. This shuttle is a a unique item in the collection as a shuttle made for advertising purposes instead of being made for use on a loom. Wooden loom with metal tips on either end. Loom is rectangular. One side has a green sticker. Metal pieces inside loom are not present.WADDINGTON'S/ FOR/ SHUTTLES OF QUALITY/ Phone Bradford 27668waddingston's, weaving, shuttle, loom, advertising, geelong, wool
