Needles

One of my purchases at the art trail yesterday was a new holder for my knitting needles. As I told the seller, her bag is very much nicer than the plastic bag I have kept my needles in for some years.  How many years can be estimated by the style of the M&S bag that the needles have just come out of. I think its circa 1980. 
Anyway, I sorted them into sizes and found some needles given to me by my grandmother- mattress repair needles! I can't imagine anyone repairs mattresses any more but if any of you are into upholstery and would like them, let me know. They'll be older than the bag!
