Big world cup match on in an hour and this looks like a football shirt (if you squint your eyes).
Another piece of Wire sold on a card for my "Ways to Sell Wire" collection.

Found on a boot sale at Moss farm for 30 pence. The diagram shows how it is used to fasten the button on a very tight pair of jeans. a little like the old boot button hooks of old.

It was a good job the instructions are still attached or I would have had no idea what it was for.

I found this on the "indoor boot sale" at the Memorial Hall in Northwich for £2. At first I thought is was just a bracelet, which looked like a piece of scientific apparatus and as it turns out it is a piece of medical apparatus called a "Mondial Bioregulator". I am testing out this week to see if it helps me with my nerves. So I am wearing it as instructed on my right wrist , metal balls on top of hand.
It feels like something invented in the Victorian era, but the web site is very modern.
