I just listed an exquisite sterling silver vintage/antique tatting shuttle on ebay. On one side is engraved the date of “1915″ and the other side is engraved with the initials “L. G.” Toward the tip along the side is the sterling silver mark that reads “Sterling .925″. This shuttle has a very sharp pick for joining and is a post style shuttle. It has some thread wound around it with some tatting in progress.
