It is very Great War looking. I like steampunk type stuff thoughNow that could be just what I require for my hazchem suit & rebreather for when I'm in one of my apocalyptic ' the world is ending ' moods. Didn't they used to come complete with a gas mask as well ?

Keyring lamps to glow in the dark, small knifes on the keyrings, carabiniers to attach the small stuff, handywarmers to thaw the fingers to operate the carabiniers, spinners to keep the thawed out fingers quick and nimble ... what will the next small desireable edc items be ? Any suggestions ?

In my state, I am licensed to carry a concealed firearm, but brass knuckles are illegal.
Better to shoot a guy than to give him a solid rap across the side of the head?
The thing that seems to have disappeared is the pocket coin dispenser. I had one for pre-decimal UK coins ( shillings or sixpence, can't recall which). It was a chromed metal cylinder, with a spring inside and a semi-flange around the top. You pushed the coins into it in a similar fashion to loading a pistol magazine, and pushed them out with the thumb.
I often wish I had one to corral the pound coins jangling around in my pocket,but I've not seen one like my old model.
Funny, I remember having one of those as well.
If memory serves me right it kinda looked something like this;
But I think I also recall larger ones that took a few different coin sizes like this one;
Top one's the boy.
Funny, haven't seen one of those in years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane
Semi-unrelated, when looking for these things I 'discovered' that, apparently, back in the days "knives and multi-tools inside of hollowed out coin was a 'thing'. Who would have known...
I want one. I wonder if Santa Claus has any in stock?
They ain't cheapI want one. I wonder if Santa Claus has any in stock?
I can. There's a well known timber merchant operating throughout London and surrounding areas who have had to stop their drivers from keeping Stanley knives in the vehicles because the old bill have confiscated them whilst they've been unloading. They use the Stanleys to cut the banding which is used to tie the timber boards together. So not an apocryphal story after all. One of the drivers was actually arrested as he came out of a shop. He had the knife clipped on his pocket.
Terrible tale of people working hard and paying taxes only to get penalised when going about their legitimate business.
Things is though when I was a lad people sorted things out with their fists. Weapons of any type were classed for cowards. These days many young people carry them, and you never ever know until something upsets their precious little hearts, or they have something they want but can't be bothered to work for.
Phew!I don't think anyone was advocating Anarchy, as regards your dim view of your fellow man that's another matter.
They don't ship out of the USA, so I'm debarred anyway.
I think I'll pause the search for a £1 coin holder. Apparently the circular coin is going to be replaced next year by a dodecagon thing, like the old brass thruppeny bit, which ceased in 1970.
I wouldn't much care to be the maker or owner of any machines/shopping trolleys and whatnot that presently take a round pound coin.
