Jones Saddler sewing machine needles

[Restorer]

Hi all, my first post on this site, 

I have purchased an antique Jones and Co treadle saddler sewing machine, I am trying to find somewhere who stocks needles that could be used in this machine,

Fortunately it has one needle, which measures 3.590” long and .100 diameter shank.   
 

Thank you in advance,

@Restorer Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines.  I think you will have a better chance of replies here.

WOW! That sounds like a System 1000 H, from the days of yore.

You might want to contact Aaron Marin Harness in Ontario, Canada. They have some sizes of Pearson 6 and Landis 1 needles that may fit your machine. They could measure a needle and let you know if it's compatible by email.

I just got some 331LR needles for my Landis #1 from Eli.  They measure 0.089" dia. at the shank and 3.665" long.  Cheaper than Martin by a bit, and fast service.

God bless

I just found some System 1000 needles in size 27 on Amazon.

The seller listed the dimensions as a shank of 2.5mm and the length at 73mm.

Thank you all for the leads on the needles, due to time differences, emails are the way to go.
