The original name for the Boye rotary needle case as used by the inventor, James H. Boye, was Commodity Cabinet, rather than needle case. Having a simple to use merchant display cabinet was a big selling point for Boye's traveling salesmen. Boye display cases were made in great numbers, with most outlasting the stores in which they were used. Inside the display cases tubes or packets contained needles, shuttles, bobbins or other merchandise. These cabinets were designed for ease of use and prevent the accidental mixing of items.
