Default Antique Needle Sorting and ID

Hi,

Recently noticed a bunch of antique needles for sale online and purchased. First picture is before sorting and second of sorted by size and shank type (flat or round):

Top left--Wheeler & Wilson 5 (size 16) 127x1 for 9, D9 flat shank
Top middle---New Home with greyhound stamped on needle 20x1 flat shank
Top right----Marked merrow

Middle left---Simanco 1.6 mm round shank x 39 mm length (industrial? )
Middle center--Simanco 2 mm round shank x 42 mm length (industrial measures size 23)
Middle right --15x1 standard Singer

Bottom left---Mostly fine hand sewing needles
Bottom right---Domestic NT (notched top) marked Boye 60-80 (size 14) and Domestic various sizes 125 needles.

Now to find a Domestic using the notched needle. The 127x1 needles will be put to use in my Singer 9W7.
