I have the Addi Click set, the very first generation. While these needles are still going strong, the pouch to store them in unfortunately started to disintegrate. But, the Addi head office helped me get a replacement! 😃

The riddle seems to be solved - someone on ravelry found this listing

https://curiocabinetantiques.com/products/victorian-blued-steel-knitting-needles-in-original-box-c-1850

and those needles look a lot like the ones I have. As far as I understood, they are not painted / printed, but a "blueing" technique is used, that changes the color of steel unless you cover it.

So I'm very impressed, that I have knitting needles that are maybe 175 years old.

I've also asked on ravlery about those needles - one additional pair has surfaced, bought at a thrift store in the UK a while back. I bought mine in Denmark, so they are probably from northern Europe. But nothing else so far.

They are magnetic so probably made from steel, which matches the relative heaviness. And they are 20 cm / 8 in

I've taken a better picture - maybe some additional information appears?

The summer holiday is suddenly at its end, so I took the time to buy 800 grams of #KnittingYarn in four earthy colours and some extra sets of 2 mm #KnittingNeedles.
The, now, two grandchildren can thus expect tightly knitted mittens for cold winter days ...

#Birds are using #AntiBird #spikes to make their nests

#Magpies and #crows have been seen making nests using spikes placed on buildings to deter birds from nesting

By Chen Ly
11 July 2023

"So far, Hiemstra and his colleagues have observed this behaviour in carrion crows (Corvus corone) at one site in the #Netherlands and in Eurasian #magpies (Pica pica) at sites in #Belgium, the Netherlands and #Scotland.

"In a tree near a hospital in Antwerp, Belgium, a magpie made a nest containing around 1500 metal spikes. The spikes on the side of the building closest to the tree were gone, while those on the other side were still intact. This suggests that the birds have been ripping the spikes out, as opposed to collecting loose spikes.

"The researchers have also seen magpie nests with defensive domes containing #BarbedWire and #KnittingNeedles."
