The certificate with the bobbins was because the bobins was a charity auction with only 10 sets made they are old flouro bobbins with a vynal wrap placed over the top
The idea being so for solar collectors it was a way of proving these were the genuine bobbins not a copy 2 to back it up from solar and nutrabaits that it was OK to use the company logo's and 3 to add value that they are solar most important part was the value aso when all said and done the more they sold for the more money went to charity 100% no cost or overheads just a little back ground on them and for those interested in know there is another charity auction coming up again with more solar Bobbins on eBay by the same person different design again 100% going to charity again a run of 10 sets hope that helps on some questions
They are a lest we forget poppy design

Where did i claim to have them, I did not 
And I was never aware that Solar produced any official authentication certificates, as I’m aware, they don't?
I was also not aware of the background either
I can see it now though, another £100 on the top line of stainless manufacturers products because you are investing in something for the future and you get an authentication certificate lol. Mind you, guess that would only be valid for U.K. manufactured products? Could be a good thing 
I doubt it though £

That is just mental 
And what’s the certificate made from, an old cornflake box 
I can’t help thinking that the odd purchase might be for sentimental value?
I bet most of it is by some sad ****s trying to create a carpfishing past, could be wrong?

I know Mark, it's gone bonkers. I bought a lot of Solar stuff over the years, some of it is over 30 years old, some collecting dust in drawers possibly for 2 decades, but at these prices it makes me wonder if I should let them go.
I also bought a small amount of Solar stuff when they were running it out of shops a couple of years ago, you know the sort you'd not pay full whack for as you didn't really need it but if it was a good price why not. I sold some line clips, have 3 of packs of Fluoro heads I'll probably never use...hmm decisions decisions!
What I would say is have a look at the Solar FB page and include a bit of history with your selling. There have been quite a few 'copies' knocking about, needle systems, early bobbins, stainless Fluoro inserts/caps Kodex being passed off as Solar etc.

Cheers guys! I have a stack of solar stuff that's not been used in years and have the same bobbin set shown below! I never knew it was worth that much - found it a few months ago when I was helping my mother with some house clearing after my poor dad got put into care. To think I'd probably had put them up for sale at around £20. I'll certainly be selling all the solar gear if people are really paying stupid money for it; also got needle bars, monkeys, all sorts of things, even a load of the interchangeable bodies in various colours, which I now see fetch high prices. Should be a nice little earner
