Description

The listing, Antique Boy Needle Set has ended.

This listing is for a very vintage set of crochet hooks by Boye. The set contains hooks numbered 1-14, in an orange vinyl case. Each of the hooks has Boye on the front, and a size number. The other side of each says USA with a prune between .15 and .25 cents.

These are pretty old and have slight rusting. Please look at all pictures.

Thanks for looking. All Listia rules apply.

Questions & Comments

My Grandmother would use this kind of needle to crochet lace, not tat. For tatting you would use a different shaped item. looked more oval and would fit in the palm of your hand.

These are used in tatting. Just not in the way most would imagine. I use them for joining picots and for weaving in my ends in the tops of the double stitches. Not to mention this is a pretty impressive set. What a find. Definitely watching.

Another Listia member has informed me that an item is not actually an antique unless it is 100 years old. So please take note that this item is vintage, not antique.
