Parker's Heraldry:

Angles: this bearing seems intended to represent the hook or fastening of a waistband (the arms of

Angles.

Wastley being allusive), and for this purpose the rings are attached; possibly for the same purpose, namely, that it might serve as a dress fastening, rings were attached to the Cross annuletty. This charge might be described also as two chevrons interlaced and couped. > Azure, three pairs of Angles interlaced fesswise; at each end an annulet azure–WASTLEY. [[10]]

October 2013 - No More Modern Drop Spindles:

As for modern drop spindles, that charge with its wide whorl, triangular cop, and often a hook at the upper end was declared to be a step from period practice in November 2007. It will likewise no longer be allowed after the April 2014 decision meetings. Submitters should instead use a period drop spindle instead, which has a much smaller whorl, an ovoid cop, and no pronounced hook. An example can be seen in Virgil Raber's Wappenbuch, 1548 (found at http://bilderserver.at/wappenbuecher/VirgilRaberEXAv2_52z2/, page 118/119). [See above] [[14]]

December 2010 LoAR - post-period drop spindle SFPP:

#39Clarice Alienor Aldinoch. Device. Vert, an empty drop spindle Or between two sewing needles in pile argent. The use of a post-period depiction of a drop spindle is a step from period practice. http:''heraldry.sca.org/loar/2010/12/10-12lar.html (Image at http:''oscar.sca.org/index.php?action=145&id=14739)
