Check out what I found behind a vent cover this morning...
Its about 2" long, From the lack of a "made in mark", its 2 part pressed tin/ rivited construction, "victory" pressed in on the slides and bakealite gripes. I'm guessing is world war 2 era. Sorry for bad picture, I had to scan it as I left my camera and cable at the shop.
edit
almost forgot it actually does work.
