Just a guess, but if they are stainless steel it looks like tumbling media for cleaning and polishing metal parts.

Re: Anyone know what these are???
Man I was thinking so hard as to what they could be
I know you said they’re NOT phonograph needles but all I can think of is this:
they are needle blanks and what you did was sharpen the ends into needle points. (you never said they weren’t going to become needles)
Probably ain’t right but hey I tried

Sprinkles, and you ate them? Is this a test to see if we can follow instructions? Do you really want us to email you?

Pins for piano actions, and you scrapped them, because nobody needs that many?
