H. Walker’s Needles have long enjoyed great popularity with those who value really good Needles. They have been greatly altered by Patented Improvements of a most important character.
H. Walker’s Patent Penelope Crochets have had so many imitations, it is necessary to repeat the request that all who wish for the true Needle will see that the word “Penelope” is on the handle.
The new Patent Uncotopic Handles to the Penelope Needles have the word “Uncotopic” on each, and persons who would avoid disappointment will please to observe these trade marks. The Uncotopic Handle keeps the Needle at all times in the true position for work, and is invaluable alike to a beginner, or to an accomplished worker.
The following is from “The Engineer,” of May 4, 1859:—“Difficult as it may appear to entirely change the structure of so small an article, the figures above show what may be done even with the eye of a Needle.
“Fig. 1. A, is a ridge or slightly raised part before the eye; B, the eye; C, a groove beyond the eye into which the thread falls.
“Fig. 2 is a side view of the part A, B, C, showing the thread recessed as in sewing, when the usual pressure of the thimble drives the Needle with its thread at once through the cloth, affording relief of no ordinary character to the tailor or seampstress, and saving much of their time. We have submitted these Needles to a good judge of such articles, who has declared them superior to all others, not only as above stated, but particularly also with relation to facility of threading.”
