Vintage?

So, my clearing out is continuing. 

Knitting needles
These needles have been gathered over many years, in fact I would think some of them were my mother’s. Today I went through the whole lot and put together enough of the kind of needles I now use - only wooden and carbon fibre - that I am likely to need in the future. Those are the ones in the basket, which was bought in Thailand, many years ago. We were staying in Chiang Mai for a few days, probably on our way to New Zealand, and I remember seeing this lovely basket hanging on a stall in the Night Market and thinking - that would be perfect for storing knitting needles, and it is, and will continue to be. 

So what to do with the rest? Do I send them in a bundle to the charity shop or do I do the right thing and sort them out into pairs, if that is possible - probably the latter. I am not sure whether anyone still uses the metal ones any more, but of course they will be described as ‘vintage’ so maybe they are collected.
