Can some one identify Shaker sewing darners ?

I have a few vintage darners that peaked my interest to find out if any
might be Shaker in origin. Any help would be appreciated. You can see them
here. http://home.hvc.rr.com/ronsylallard/MVC-893F.JPG

Ron:
The checker one you have, second from
right, is similar to one I have. Mine is
actually an egg shape, but of the same
wood structure. Anyhow, I have seen this
type exhibited in the Clothilde
Catalogue; this was not for sale, just
for interest. IIRC, it was listed as
Welsh origin, and was quite old. I could
be wrong!
