look what I just found in my grandpa's old stuff... i think

>>717963007
Good find, OP!
They don't make em' like they use to.

Keep it, it's not worth much, pretty sure it's the '68 model, it was mass produced and you can still find it everywhere.

You box is in a pretty good condition, I'd sell it ASAP! Don't have a pic of my boxes but I've got a collection of 6 from the 90's! :)

Gotta find the '64 model. Pretty sure they were brick back then... Good find!

>>717963236
you're full of shit bro... these go for like 150-200...

>>717963311
be cautious, some contain asbestos

That's the problem with this site. People with autism find repetition comforting and the rest of us are stuck looking at shit that was old years ago.

>>717963007
OP THAT IS THE RARE 1923 COLOMBIAN SPITFIRE BOX. WTF WHERE DID YOU GET THAT IT SELLS FOR 7 MIL MINIMUM.

>>717963247
90s boxes are complete shit, manufacturing standards weren't nearly as high as they were in decades before.

>>717963470
SOMEBODY apparently didn't have a childhood. It's not too late to get one of your own man, I'll send you a spare fingerbox if you want.

>>717963311
this. i inherited this same model from my old deceased uncle and sold it fast in auction for 250 .
though you might want to grab ahold of it for a while, since their value increases over time .

>>717963007
good find... i'd invest in an acrylic box if i had the money :( a friend from china showed me his and it was like a whole new experience. hate those "only a wooden fingerbox is a real fingerbox" guys, but well, that means more for us :)

I'm saving for a "schwarzwald box" from germany right now, they're ideal for portable use. wouldn't recommend oak though - paid $200 for one, the box is beautiful and of course handmade - but the smell is pretty bad. my finger looked like a turd after some "prolonged usage", too.

Y'know, I'm not sure about these new e-fingerboxes. Sure, they're pretty, but a 250-year-old teak fingerbox made in England, Germany or Japan will do the job just as well, and has got tons of potential for upgrading. I've got a collection of all sorts, and I must say that one of my favourites is a 170-year-old scrimshandered palm fingerbox from Rehoku which feaures part of a dendroglyph and was crafted by British sailors stuck on the island from HMS Prophetess. It's a gorgeous bit of work and is so beautiful. The overall feel is very good inside too, as it was lined with lambskin and felt. The mechanism is in tip-top condition because even though it's a wooden Heidelburg design the actual wood used is, like the case, palm and thus can be kept beautifully clean and functional with palm oil, which also brings out a lovely dark finish. It's locked with an ivory key (cut from whalebone) engraved with the intials A.E. and in a niche inside the lid is a Gold Sovreign, which I only found when examining the fingerbox just after I bought it - I was looking at the hinge and I noticed a tiny button, and click! Out it came. It's a wonderful piece of work, I had it insured for £17,000 but I think it would make several times that at auction... implying that I'd ever sell such a wonderful object, of course.

>>717963643
a common misconception. those old boxes you see today look good because they were rarely used. people bought them and put them away when they fell out of fashion. hipsters like them because they can say they dont make them like they hurrdurr

Pretty sure that's a 50's model. Might want to make sure before selling it for a lower price.

>>717963007
can you find out what model it is? if it's '68 I wouldn't recommend selling it, they don't go for more than $800 even though they're high quality. but the white plastic and the fact that it's mass production makes fingerbox snobs dislike them. keep it and enjoy it.

the spitfire is wooden top. this is a british renex replica. they're equally good imo but they don't sell for over $900

Oh my gosh I love fingerbox threads, makes me feel like such an oldfag, my Japanese father passed on his fingerbox to me from 7 generations ago where it was hand carved with intricate patterns from ebony and zebrawood, shit is too sentimental to sell but is worth 2-3 mil, currently use it to stash a cheeky nugget of weed, and as a fingerbox of course

>>717964464
absolutely. it's like the stradivari violins or the vinyl hipster shit. companies in the 90's were able to make much better fingerboxes than the hand made stuff in the 50's or 40's. but the hand made stuf is all about prestige.

Can somebody explain the point (no pun intended) of a finger box

Hey fuck you shitdipper. I just want to know what the fucking thing in OP's pic is and not whether you put broney furtailed buttplugs up your ass while you're pondering a 90 cm gauge for your fucking ear lobe, you taper-fade fauxhawk neckbearded rat tail wearing fedora fucker.

Finger boxes that aren't in sets really don't do anything for me. You need a full roster of different feelings to get the whole experience

I got a from my gandpa. He was a german and came to my country after the war. Mine is made of oak. I believe it might be of a great value.

You're all fucking cancer, every single one of you.

To the fucktards who don't know what a fingerbox is, it's nothing. It doesn't exist.

To the fucktards stop scoffing, you aren't oldfags. You're even more pathetic than the other idiots because at least they admit to being new. You fuckers are what's wrong with /b/

>>717972038

Fingerboxes are usually lined with silk or another soft cloth. If you make it right it wont chafe. if you feel like making an un-lined box, just print it in slices and sand everything smoothe before assembly.

>>717968573
So this whole thread is just bait

>>717972377
what if I left some extra room and added some fabric from the craft store?
does it have to be silk, or would a more common fabric suffice?
this'll be my first fingerbox and I really just want to see if I like em before I drop real money

I figure it should only cost me about $3-7 to print my own, plus whatever the fabric costs

Any soft cloth will do, it's all about preference. Don't bother spending a lot on a fingerbox, the spendy ones don't necessarily feel better.

>>717972968
cool
I think I might have some felt scrap laying around

does anyone have some general dimensions for a fingerbox so I can sketch up a model?

>>717963007
In recent years there has been great demand for 1960s and 1970s finger box collectors as well as museums. The reason is that by this period finger box demand really slacked off as newer more modern activities like listening to 8 track tapes and FM radio started to become more popular and less manual transmission used in cars. At the same time the modern designs used to attract new finger box users were created by famous artists like Rothko and Pollack. So these are very desirable.

long enough to get your whole finger inside, wide enough that you can wiggle your finger a bit. outer dimensions dom't matter.

I inherited my grandfathers collection. He had six very intricately carved wooden ones. They all burned in a house fire, back in 98. Didnt have a digital cam or anything. Only pics i had of them went up in flames too. :{
