Bag full of gadgets


We visited Sari's aunt and uncle, and they gave us to keep a wonderful collection of old tools. We decided to photograph them and write down their story for the next generations.
A) What we Finns call as Continuation War, halted into a trench warfare between 1942 and 1943. Soldiers guarding the front line had a lot of time to sit in the bunkers and having not much to do. Since there was lack of everything during war time, creativity popped out it's head everywhere. Soldiers for example carved wooden handbags like these and sent them to their wives.
B) This tool was used to fill a special rolls of paper with tobacco, and then smoked using a cigarette holder. EDIT: Filling ready made "cigarette blanks" with tobacco is still done by extreme enthusiasts.
C) Old times hair irons were heated on a stove, and then tested with a piece of paper if they have cooled down enough. If paper caught fire, then the iron was still too hot. This particular model was so called travel version.
D) Before industrial revolution, scissors were hand made and well treasured household item.
E) Sugar cutters were used even after sugarloaves were replaced with cube and granulated sugars. Old times people used to sip their coffee through a half cut sugar cube that was held between teeth. I have tested this, and it actually gives rather different flavor than if sugar is mixed into the coffee.
F) When even stockings were rare and expensive, they were mend with this kind of latch ladder menders.
EDIT: Thanks to "Putter" video I refer to on list of references, I also found a great soundtrack by "The Black Dog": soundcloud.com/the-black-dog/sets/dustv049-the-black-dog-exhibit
