The product is a lot of 21 antique 19th century sailmaker's needles from Jas Smith & Sons or also known as Wm. Smith & Son. These sail making needles are original and manufactured before 1900 in the United Kingdom / England. They come in a paper case, making them a unique and historical addition to any sewing or needle collection.

I believe the 14 1/2 means the size of the needles, but don't quote me on that. There are 21 total needles, some do have, what looks to me like rust. But very little, it's not like they are covered, but definitely wanted it to be noted. They all come with the original packaging. The package at the bottom is almost ripped apart and they can fall out of the bottom if not careful. See photos and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me! Thanks!

Also, since I have no idea what they are worth, I'm going to run an auction at a very low price. I'll let you decide by bidding, on how much they are worth. And if your interested in more than one item, let me know and we'll work out a bundle deal and combine shipping too!
