Photos – at last! Buying in multiples get DEEP discounts! I don’t know what this woman was doing, but a lot of these needles are bent, not terribly enough to make them unusable, but enough that I ought to tell you.
Rather than try to convert to Canadian/American/British needle sizes, I’ll do the democratic (i.e. easy) thing and list the metric size only. You can do your own conversion. Sold by the pair, unless you want the few odd singles I’ve come across.

Plastic needles: straight pairs and dpn sets
Plastic needles: these are in nice bright colors, including that “Martha Stewart” green so common in the 40s. These are in two lengths, 12″and 14″. At least one needle of every pair is slightly warped, and the smallest pair is extremely warped and bent. Here are the length, size and color:
3.25/yellow/14″ (very warped), 4/yellow/14″ (the rest of these are just slightly warped), 4.5/green/14″, 5.5/white/14″ (or this size in green, 12″), 6/green or yellow/14″, 6.5/green/12″ or 14″, 7/red/14″, 7.5/green/14″ ( or this size in ivory, marked Beehive, also warped), 8/red/12″, and last, a giant pair of blue 35mm broomstick needles.
