Nope. That is only for one size of one type. each is a separate order.
I agree the "newer needle" may be easier to move, but from MY very skewed point of view, the 12 would be more FUN to sell.
My original motivation for this was to get a line of "Historic" needles available for collectors.
As to the Singer #12's, Frister and Rossmans, and any other 12 inspired clone being used. I agree however, I cannot tell you how many times I have heard a person say "I don't sew with that one because the needles are too expensive/can't find them"
