My wife collects needle tins, needle packets and this sort of thing. Here are a few from her collection. A couple of these could almost be considered needle tins but kind of a crossover.

Here's a later Capitol Records needle dispenser. You press down the silver knob and one needle comes to the top. Alongside is a hole for used needles. Very handy, though soft-tone needles are too narrow.

Bob, I have one of those, also Capitol branded. I thought it was a little late for a steel needle as Capitol started up in '41 but I wasn't there.
Anyone seen this dispenser branded differently?
