Square Pillow with bobbins, pattern, lace

Need measurements.
The pillow has a small tear on top. Soiled, probably has some pin rusting. One side worn in a long rectangle, probably from a pattern.

This pillow came with a strip of Beds lace, 24 bobbins, 3 prickngs, 3 cover cloths, thread. There is a horseshoe charm. This pillow goes with the windmill_8 bobbin winder, and a bobbin box (bobbin_box_2).

Seller's statement, 03/25/2017:
Hi there, happy to have a discussion about any thing, via email. We have an awful lot of lacemaking equipment it seems that my great great great grandmother did a lot of it! In Northamptonshire. We have hundreds of wooden and bone bobbins, a lot of lace thread and Lace itself. We had some lace professionals from Norfolk and Suffolk come over yesterday and have a look through it, so we are a little bit better informed about what is what, but in general we don't do lacemaking ourselves so don't know a lot about it! Perhaps the best thing is to photograph it?
