Looks like a needle used in a special machine for making drapes and things that need a blind stitch hem, it catches a few threads and most of the thread is on the back and the front shows only a tiny stitch.

The double needle looks to be what was use to make the side seams on jeans. A few home machine are set up to use these. I think were called felding seams. I'm sorry I know I didn't spell that right ,but you get the general idea.

I know the first one is a twin needle used to sew two lines at the same time on the front and has a zigzag on the back. I thought the second one was a damaged needle and see that quiltmouse has researched it and again have learned something new from you great QB people.

Its made by Organ, size 75/11. Went there but they dont really show what the needles look like. The twin needle was in the tin also, I put it in the photo to get size perspective. Ive never seen a needle like this, so Im assuming its for a type of machine Ive never used. What in the heck is it?
