Its made by Organ, size 75/11. Went there but they dont really show what the needles look like. The twin needle was in the tin also, I put it in the photo to get size perspective. Ive never seen a needle like this, so Im assuming its for a type of machine Ive never used. What in the heck is it?

First one is a double needle used with one bobbin to top stitch, I have one with all my machines but haven't the nerve to try it. The second is a blind stitch neddle we used them when I worked in a sewing factory.There are also hand sweing needles that are bent ,used to sew things like buttons on couches and chairs, things you can't get to the back of to push the needle back through.

wow, wonder what the user hit with that? I've bent and broken needles, but never that bad ~ whomever posted "kept as a reminder" may have hit the needle on the head LOL
