I've got some old knitting/crochet tools that I'm proud to own, given to me by my Grandma (they originally belonged to either her mother, I believe, though some pieces may have been her grandmother's). I realized I've never shown them off so I thought I would.
First, the old sewing basket. I keep this in my knitting room shelf and store all the tools inside. (Pardon the dustiness!)
Next, an old-school circular (I have a few). I would hate to have to knit with this-the cable is braided wire and they joins fray and catch your yarn!
And last, some bone (I believe, I don't think they're ivory) crochet hooks (I have one more in my sock bag) and another little tool I can't identify. Any ideas?

Wow! Lucky you. That basket is amazing. What a treasure to have all these family heirlooms. I'm stumped on the needle with a hole - unless it's someone's best attempt at a darning needle.
What a beautiful basket, and how special to have it! I'm stumped on the needle thingy too!
Very Cool... I used to have things like that from both of my Grandmas'....Then I had Roommates that seemed to think my stuff was for community use. Cats are much better roommates.
Love the basket. I have circs like that to & I never use them either.
How cool, my mom has some ivory crochet hooks too that belonged to her mother.
Not to sure about the needle thingy, could it be a nose picker?
