I am a sewing machine mechanic who specializes in fixing really old machines and a well known hat maker has come to me, asking for wilcox and gibbs chain stitcher needles, this machine is the one that they sew straw hats with, and they have broken their last needles, its a rare needle and i have five coming from maryland but that wont be enough, this machine has been inthe hat factory probably since 1920s, a larger one size 18 would be great but i am not lucky enough to demand that, i have the exact numbers so if someone has these needles please contact me 59Lark
