The picture on this web page looks nothing like the needle in the picture above. I still say it it a BENT SEWING MACHINE NEEDLE!!!

Right. As I stated, Could it be a 'bent' one of those? Must not be.

The bent needle sort of looks like a needle for a professional hemming machine. I have this machine and the needle is bent, like that.

If it had a thread hole at the other end, It could pass for an upholstery needle but in this condition, it looks like a badly damaged needle, possibly kept as a souvenir because it hasn't broken...?

Industrial machine needles are curved but not bent like that, I have never seen a needles used like that and I worked in the sewing industry and all the different machines I have sewn on,none looked like that, it is a bent needle

That's what I first thought of also - just don't remember one end being kinda 'squared' as much as that one.

I have a blind stitch hem machine and that is not the way they look. They are curved but not that much and not on the end like that.That is just a bent needle.

Hey that needle looks like what I did to my last sewing machine. The shuttle didn't lock right and the needle hit the bobin case. It didn't sew right after that. The other needle I never did figure it out how to use it.

Year ago they used to give away packets of different size needles and among them was a curved upholstery needle. I still have one of those packets and occassionaly use one of those needles. Don't know for sure if this is one of those.
