I just, a passing interest, last night looking, in a sewing box full of
spools of thread and needles, (and some other items, like Barbie and Skipper
green skin diving flippers or fins, and parts of wooden croquet toys for the
same dolls) and there was a package of England needles from Sheffield. They
were probably purchased after the time period you are looking at, but
perhaps represent a long term supplier of sewing needles. The brand I think
was "England".
