Injecta Hypodermic Needles The tin case houses a complete set of twelve hypodermic needles, size 17, each securely held in place. The case’s lid bears a paper label with black ink writing: “Made in England Injecta Brand Superior Quality Stainless Steel Hypodermic Needle 1 Doz. Size 17.” Inside the box, a gold metal pad features needle holders where the needles are secured in the slot. These needles were designed to be a push-fit for the original Record syringes. Each needle is engraved with the number 17 and an “S” at the end that fits into the syringe. All of them still have the cleaning wire inside. Signs of wear and tear are visible. Hypodermic needles are used to either inject fluids into the body or withdraw them, and these particular needles were specifically designed for the original Record syringes, patented by Dewitt & Hertz. 1925-1975
