Skyangel - no tatting hooks, I know how to tat, and if I got some tatting shuttles, I'd hang on to them. I'm hoping to get one that has the removable bobbin in it.

Anyway, I have more of those needle looking thingies with the holes - they are for making needle punched rugs. I've got several in another box somewhere, along with some other rug making tools.

Tessigan, that "angles spike" that you are referring too - I think you mean the leather needle. It's very heavy duty, has a flattened, sharpened end to more cut a hole in leather than poke a hole through. The curve at the end gives more leverage for pushing through, and makes it easier to grab and pull than you get with a straight needle.

Unless you mean the bent nail in one of the last pictures - that is all it is, a larger nail bent with the tip snipped off and pounded a bit flat. Probably a "home made" screwdriver of some sort. If you are interested in nails, I've got a collection of square ones we salvaged while working on the house. They are cut not forged, but still neat.

Steve - should I put those two buttonhole cutters in the box with your name on it?
