Oh, don't say you don't need them!! LOL The Davis "longs" are actually very long...they look long! They come in old round wooden tubes. The tube may say 10 on it...and if it does, that is indeed a Davis long needle made by Boye. I have some of them at home, and I'll measure tonite. But Jon probably knows the answer to this question.
