Thanking you in advance for your time!
I'm confused. Are you looking for more 12x1 needles? Or needles for a different machine? No one makes 12x1 needles any more. There have been some needles that would probably substitute for them, such as https://www.ebay.com/itm/224626557907 There was someone that wrote about comparing needles that would work for a Singer #12 machine.https://sewingtales.wordpress.com/20...-my-singer-12/ (search for "Needle History" on that page).
Also mentioned on that page is a link for ISMACS page that would be included in one of the following links.

As seen on the ISMACS links there were a variety of different needles for these old machines.
