I should have asked her what number was listed for Singer - the pre 1907 cases have it listed as 11/12 and the post 1906 ones have it 15/16

I have several tubes from an old case, and they have the "other" ones in them. Something to be aware of if buying old Boye stock - the really old stuff is numbered differently. At least it's real easy to tell a White shuttle from a Singer shuttle.
