I officially started my tatting shuttle collection on June 12, 2012. Even though I already owned 2 plastic tatting shuttles since I was around 12 years old, it was not until then that I decided to collect them and started spending hours online learning more about the history of tatting and the different shuttles out there. I will post pictures of my tatting shuttle collection here, hope you enjoy them.

The Milward tatting shuttle was later produced between the 50s and the 80s in black and white plastic with an orange sticker with the Millward name on the center. These shuttles were sold with a crochet hook. In 1933 a very light aluminium tatting shuttle was produced marked "AERO ENGLAND". This shuttle was most commonly found without a pick, as a pick was not very popular int the UK. This shuttle could still be found until the 1960's. The AERO model is very special for me, it is the tatting shuttle that Ceci uses for her tatting work. The aluminium Aero shuttle was later replaced with a plastic Aero tatting shuttle, originally produced in England. This shuttle is made out of plastic, has a built in crochet hook and detachable bobbin. Shuttle is marked "MADE IN ENGLAND" I don't have much information on this shuttle, it came from the UK and can be seen on some English publications. It is plastic and translucent. Below are six plastic tatting shuttles produced in the UK probably from 1930 -1960. These tatting shuttles have very bright colors and very robust. Similar tatting shuttles can be found in Pam Palmer's book "Tatting Shuttles - Related Tools & Accessories" in page 66. UPDATED 2/24/13 This clear tatting shuttle is very unique, I don't have much information on it, came from England.
