If you've got 14s and/or 21s (& you want to sell them), I'd be interested!

Some of the #'s are faded of the tops, but I am hoping to find a Boye needle chart that might help me identify their sizes and then learn which vintage machine they go to!

the vintage needle packs are mainly Pfaff and the jars hold machine parts like screws, spool pins, etc.
I knew if I kept it long enough I would need it!!
Good for you I just love finding my own treasures.LOL

Wow, what a haul. I am so glad there is someone else who can do an archeological dig in the closet and find treasure.

Almost like Christmas when you find things you forgot you had.
