Does anybody know what this is.   
If you do like it share it don’t tell anybody what it is.

VM  I think I still have one!

Paganess  I still use them!

Bentonbag  Me too. I hope you can still get them in the haberdashery in the Grainger Market

JG  Easy, useless though

Bess Cavalier  The red plastic ones are better and last longer, although mine gave up on Thursday evening.  I do have a new packet somewhere ...
Kippa  The one I used had Singer stamped on it. Long since gone.
Mercy Dunn  I know what it is, my eye sight is so poor it’s all I can use.
Mrs Elswitch  I have one but have no bloody idea how it works!
Bentonbag  Come up to my house and I'll show you.
McChurch  I have several different makes including one with a Pusser`s arrow on it from the huss`if (sewing kit to you civvies) that was issued with my kit in 1963.   
Along with a silk, a dirk, a lan`yard, and my bosuns call, it`s all I have left.  Not even a cap tally!  Of course there are some items of "re-allocated" stores, but I`m not telling you about them.
Bentonbag  Huss'if short for housewife, according to my mother
McChurch  Correctamundo, Bosun.
