Old needles that fit ..... what?
I have some unidentified sewing machine needles that I just spent hours trying to ID. To no avail I might add.
4 are marked SIMANCO and 22.
1 is marked MUVA and 90.
1 has no markings.
9 ( three tubes ) are Boye 21s and so marked.
All of them are round shank needles that are within a mm or so of the same length with the same diameter shank.
So what are the Simanco needles? I went through all the pages of ISMACS needles and could not find them. Not even in the section that lists dimensions.
Since all the needles were so similar I checked the machine needle listings pages. Out of over a 100 pages of machines I only found 11 that the Boye 21s fit.

Here's the list of machines I came up with.
The Boye 21s are very similar to Singer 20x1 needles except for the round shank. None of these needles fit anything I have.
There is no cross between Singer needles and the Boye 21s that I could find.
