Question
In going through our parents things I have run across a packet of self-threading Needles, Boye, Item #530 which sold for 29 cents. It is a packet of 10 size 3/9. The Boye Needle Co. was in Chicago, but it says the needles were made in England. There are only 5 needles left in packet.  Would they be of any value?


Answer
Hello Betty.  Boye needles have been made in the millions, so they have very little value.  You did not include a picture, but if the packet is in mint condition, it may have some value to ephemera or advertising collectors.  Hope this has helped.  Barbara
