I got this Boye Needle case a while back. It worked ok but was sloppy and rough in its movement.

Last night I found that three of these tiny screws were holding it together.

Sorry to the Dial-up folks for the larger file, but her is an inventory of my needle tubes, shuttles, and bobbins.

all done, back together, moving smooth as glass.
(NOTE: the pointer is the first one of our homemade replacements, works great!)

those are so neat! I keep talking myself into and out of getting one. Right now I'm saving up in case I find something really nice on my way back north from Florida next weekend. Well, not really I guess, just won an auction for a Singer 27 pheasant- with a lot of neat accessories to go with it.

Wow. That's really cool!

Steve that is funny because I now have two of them.

Steve, you are so good and creative, so precise, so able to do everything. You are genius. And I'm serious.

What a wonderful find you have there. Years ago, I had to find a dime store that had one of those tins, so that I could buy needles for my Wheeler and Wilson Family #9. I sewed all of my children's clothes on that machine until they were teens.

I am so happy for you, I would just love to find something like that. AWESOME FIND.
