Historical information
Hessian sack needles were essential for agricultural and industrial use, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Used for stitching and mending burlap, jute, or canvas sacks that carried goods such as grain, potatoes, flour, and coal.
The curved needles were ideal for sewing thick fabric without needing to turn the sack, while the straight ones were used for general stitching.
These tools were common in farming communities, warehouses, and shipping industries, where sacks needed frequent repair.
Physical description
A set of four long, rusted metal needles, designed for sewing or repairing hessian (burlap) sacks.
Each needle varies slightly in shape and curvature, with some having a straight form, while others are curved or hooked at the tip.
