Still searching for either HMV Silent Stylus or Columbia 99 needle packs- Packets, full boxes, anything- anyone? Thanks!

The Marconi 's are called "Marconiphone miniature needles" in a red & black packet , same size / shape as the Columbia 99 & HMV Silent stylus. There is also a type by Portogram in a moulded clear plastic packet as well as Connoisseur by Sugden & W&W mini-style from Wilkins & Wright of Birmingham that I've never seen but are mentioned in an advert from 1947 (Webb of Holborn_) in the wireless world in connection with their COIL moving - coil pickup advert. My choice are the 99's from Columbia
