One of my secret growing obsessions is buying phonograph needle tins on ebay. The phonograph needles are to be used once per play of a 78 record, and they come in different tones to control the volume of the record.
Some tins I buy, some I don’t, but I’ve been really enjoying finding the different categories that they fall in to. I present to you now, Dogs & Talking Machine themes.
Doggies holding hands with babies. In hell?
Puppies regarding older doggie.
Doggie regarding little chick.
Doggies holding paws. Shaking paws?
German needles for a talking machine.
The Boys Delight – I believe these are from India.
The perspective on this horn is very seashell like.
German phonograph needle tin. I love this color scheme!

Hi there Amelia!
After reading your post, I have come to realize that you are into vintage tin boxes.
Can I just draw your attention to the link below?
It’s a about a rare Verona needle tin box (circa 1930s).
