Antique W.W. Kimball Co. Phonograph Pathe Needle Packet

Good things do come in small packages. I was moving an old W.W. Kimball 78 phonograph player I have in storage the other day and out of the record compartment fell this little packet of Pathe ball needles. I have been looking for years for one to try out a Pathe machine I also have in storage. They are scarce as hens teeth and about the same size. They are used to play old Pathe vertical cut records. I have never found any place to buy reproduction ones and originals on ebay are few and far between and usually priced more than I paid for the whole machine. Two of these special sapphire ball end needles appear to be set in a machined Ivory stem. I imagine they are the softer tone ones. The Kimball branded machine I have appears to be designed to play either vertical or lateral recorded discs. It looks just like the unit pictured on the needle bag.
