Up for sale is a vintage L&H Fibre Needle Cutter, a specialized tool originally produced by Lyon & Healy for trimming and re-pointing fiber (bamboo) phonograph needles used in early gramophones and 78-rpm record players.
This compact cigar-cutter–style tool was designed to precisely shave the worn tip of a fiber needle so it could be resharpened and reused multiple times. Fibre needles were known for producing a softer, warmer playback tone and for being gentler on shellac records—this cutter ensured the needle stayed in the correct shape for clean sound.

* Used for resharpening bamboo/fiber phonograph needles
* Durable metal construction with a spring-loaded cutting mechanism
