they are prehistoric looking, LOL. Actually I have a bunch like that and I think my grandmother used them for mending braided rugs and such.

Looks like what my parents used to sew up the sacks of peanuts when they harvested them in the field.

I've got a package of needles similar to those. On the back of the package, it says they are "For most major sewing repairs around the Home or Farm".

Here's their uses:
- Curved Upholstery Needles: Chairs & Sofas, Car Seats, Mattresses, Pillows and Cushions.
- Packing Needle (widest wing needle): Sacks, Burlap Bags, Matting, Sewing with String.
- Sail Needle (smaller wing needle): Canvas, Leather, Harness, Sails, Beach Chairs, Awnings, Fabric Car tops, Tarpaulins & Heavy Plastics, Lampshades.
- Yarn Darner (large regular looking needle): Heavy Woolen Garments, Sweaters, Jackets, Blankets.
- Carpet Needle (larger regular looking needle): Mending and Seaming, Carpets and Rugs

Thanks everyone!
I had to call and tell my Grandma about all these responses. She doesn't know how to sew or even thread a needle. lol
She, and my mom, were both interested to hear the answers.

They are for upholstering furniture.

The large long one my dad used to use for sewing up sacks in the old days and the curved one is for sewing up mattresses but not modern type mattresses, I mean the old soft filled ones not innersping kind. Not sure about the others.
