Description

The most recognized needle packet of the period with a color facsimile of the original famous tall ship label with the 1857 date applied per the original item. No cheap black and white zerox here. The original maker was very protective of his packaging. The packet is our exact copy black paper and meticulously lock-folded exactly as the original, not a crude slip and tongue packet. (we searched far an wide to find this lighter weight specialty paper with the proper finish, matching the originals in our collection) Interior has wool insert with needles placed per originals. Includes both the large front and small back label. Consistent with our commitment to more fairly represent the vast material culture of the period, we periodically change our product brands, always with the same researched and detailed packaging and presentation, here temporarily pivoting for a while from our popular Blood’s label needles. Just the ticket for the soldiers kit or homefront basket desiring the very best offered. I am sorry but we have had to now limit purchases to two packets per order as we are again experiencing purchases of our consumable products in quantity and reports of them being resold, with our labels and packaging, at a premium by unscrupulous blanket type vendors, depriving our individual living history customers of the opportunities to buy our museum quality items at our reasonable prices. We are not a sutler supplier, we are the sutler. We do not work hard at our research and development  on your behalf, while keeping costs as low as we reasonably can, in order to provide our products for those with diminished initiative to profit from at your expense.
