This is a beautiful enamel shuttle made by the "Thomae Company" of Attleboro, Massachuetts. Shuttles made by Charles Thomae and his son had very distinctive design. I have several enamel shuttles, but one pink one made by them. Heidi Nakayama, author of "Tatting Shuttles of American Collectors" taught me the difference. I first thought my pink enamel shuttle was made by Webster, but could not find the markings. I was told to look on the inside where I discovered my Pink Enamel Shuttle was made by the "Thomae Company". You can really see the markings in this picture of a blue enamel shuttle. The blue shuttle is not in my collection. I just love to document different colors and designs of the really old shuttles.
