many years ago I lived in MI and went to auctions almost daily! Now mind you that was in the mid 90's and I have moved 4 times since then. BUT, I knew I had some tubes of the old Boye needles and just felt in my heart that I never got rid of them. So without a thought, I set out going through stuff in my craft closet and look what I found!
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! [ATTACH=CONFIG]349727[/ATTACH] 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!! |
gorgeous!!

Great find!!

Wow! what a treasure!

What a gold mine! Aren't you glad you didn't get rid of them? That is why my house has so much clutter, I know I will find a use for something right after I pitch it.

Jacquie,
If you have any Boye 2 1/2's and you're not going to use them, perhaps you might be persuaded to sell me some?????? I have an ancient Kenmore 120-49 that takes either the Kenmore #49 or Boye 2 1/2 needles. I have found zero of either to date. Nice stash by the way. Reminds me of some of my stuff. :) Joe |
Hooray! Maybe you'll need to find a machine or 2 to fit the needles?
|
Oh my - I see a #2 Boye needle container there that would fit my Household treadle machine if you don't have a need for them! Let us know if you decide to sell any of them . . .

That is why I save so many things, u never know when I might 'need' them again, especially if they are sewing related.
