How can I find the value of vintage knitting needles and crochet hooks? Anyone know of Bucilla needles?
I am liquidating my 96 year old grandmothers knitting and crochet items, mostly hooks and needles and would like to learn how to tell the value of them. I have several Bucilla needles and hooks and cannot find them anywhere to compare.

I have to say that everyone’s old granny has them tucked away somewhere. I have been to many fairs and events where they sit looking miserable as people pass them by, unless: they are hallmarked silver, old ivory, and fancy designs in pewter/bronze and so on, and even then it will be a small number of specialist collectors. Sorry, I haven’t heard of Bucilla needles.

Bucilla (the company) is no longer in business. They were bought out by Plaid Corp. Try their website. (apparently they no longer carry hooks and needles) http://www. plaidonline. com/home. asp
You can also take your needles in to a good yarn shop and someone may know if they’re worth anything. Or try e-bay and see if you can find similar ones and see what they are selling for.
But since there are a lot of hooks and needles available I don’t think they are worth as much in monetary value as they are in sentimental value.
