C.S. Osborne No. 518 Glovers Needles (Leather Needles)
Leather needles are sometimes referred to as Glovers needles because years ago they were used by glove-makers. These needles are still used today in all types of leather work, including shoemaking and shoe repairs, belts and leather garments.
Leather needles have a triangular point which enables them to pierce and pass through tough materials such as leather, suede and vinyl without tearing.
The higher the gauge the thinner the needle. 25 Needles Per Paper.
