World War II needles




I found these knitting needles in a thrift shop a few years ago. At the time of purchase I had no idea they were needles used to make items for veterans in the war.
While reading one of my recent knitting magazines I came across an article about these needles. They are a size 5 and I have only the two. I'm searching for a pattern from that era that I can use to work with these needles. I'm thinking socks but I'd have to add another 2 or 3 needles depending on the pattern.
