The shuttles for the 127 are quite distinctive--I always think of them as "wasp-waisted".
I spent time this afternoon cleaning up (or at least attempting to) some needles and shuttles from an old Boye case that had been somewhere damp. There weren't a lot of shuttles, but quite a few rusty needles. I thought it worth a shot to see if they could be cleaned. I've had these for probably 10 years, and finally decided it's either toss them out or clean them up. I wanted the case (the one with the wooden base for hand sewing needles, etc.) they came in, so these were all just extra anyway.
The evaporust leaves the shuttles dark where it takes off the rust, but boy, does it do the job!!

I have shuttles to get gone but I sure don't know what they are from.
