Turnbacks

[Tina]

I manage to get my hands on some Turmbacks, now I wonder...

How many sizes did they come in and what's the number/numbers I'm missing? I have T944, T945, and T946. Greatful for any info:-)

Tina,

The ones I have are (smallest to largest) 945, 946, 947, 942, 943, 944.

There is also another set of turnbacks that look similar to smooth camoflage tools. The numbers on them are 432, 445, 446, 447 and 448. As you can see, over the years, as they retired some tools and introduced some new ones, they used the numbers over so there are sometimes more than one shape of tool with the same number. I have an extra 942 and if you want it, it's yours.

One of the uses is in western floral.

Here is an example around the leaf.
