Several weeks ago I saw an auction on GW that contained a big bunch of mixed loose SM needles and some metal and plastic rings and a package of overall buckles.
Most of the needles were bigger than 15x1s, some smaller. The text said there were some W&W, EldRotary, Eld, marked needles but mostly they were marked with numbers.
So I decided to take a chance. Then I got distracted and forgot to bid.
I watched and they relisted it. To keep it in my mind I put a minimum bid on it right then. That moves the listing to a more obvious place in my bookmark system.
When the bidding came up someone put a $1.00 bid on it, probably a shill, then never came back. So I got the whole shebang for under $20.00.
My haul was well worth it. I get the needles, wifie gets the hardware.

What I got:
Top row;
>10, Boye #8. No idea in the world what they fit. If anybody knows please let me know.
>22, Boye #2.5. Fits my Kenmore 120-491.
Bottom row;
>4, Davis Long. Fits my Minnesota B
>26, 15x1. Fits oodles of machines
>36, 20x1. Fits my two New Home made machines.
> 1, 127x1. Fits my Singer 9W-7s.
At an average price of a dollar + on all the needles but the 15x1s, I sorta think I made out like a bandit.
