The case’s lid bears an inscription in red ink: “The Star Stainless Hypodermic Needle Record. One Dozen No. 1 Hypo. Made in England.” This is accompanied by the company logo of “Everett”. These needles were designed to be a push-fit for the original syringes. Each needle is engraved with the number 1 at the end that fits into the syringe.
