I saw a thread the other day about something called a fingerbox. No one could really say what they were. I checked amazon and there's nothing. What are they for?

They are for your finger.

I get that.. You put your finger in i assume. But why

Holy shit that's a classic model. My grandfather showed me is. Said it goes back to 1920.

*showed me his, lol

I don't like the new cheap plastic knockoffs, they're so flimsy and have sharp edges. I guess they're good gifts for kids.

I find the older ones are better made than these new fangled ones. I mean who needs USB ports on their fingerbox?

Fucking trolls acting like fingerboxes aren't real.

Newfag spotted
Im a newfag but this is for the oldfags

I just want to know what they're for, like what's inside them?

Have one looking like this, but newer. Tried with a small carrot, but that didn't work out well. So, don't.

enough with the meta shit. You're not a 'newfag' at this point, you're just a fag.

Will you post a pic of the inside?

Who is? You can still order them online but might take a while to get to you. Plust the quality might be lacking, hand-made is really the way to go despite the price.
The one I have is broken right now and I can't get it fixed because of corona. Shitsux

>You're not a 'newfag' at this point, you're just a fag.
Love this, made my day.

How do you sanitize these things if you get a used one? It's gotta be pretty grimy inside. They should sell a little mask for it lol

WHAT IS INSIDE

My grand father brought one back from ww2 looked a lot like this but had a swastika on the side, since my family moved from Russia to Germany in 93 we can't find it anymore. A bummer really he told he got it from a dead German soldier.

Yes you have to feel for it. You can use any finger but not the thumbs. It's more of an art than a sport.

Probably get a shitload of cash for these collectibles on Ebay. I've heard of but never seen one.

Nobody still fucking said what the hell a fingerbox is

Mine just arrived, finally. Not sure if the steel or cedar one is supposed to work better, but I'm trying them both anyways.

Can you please tell me what you do with it?

Put your finger in it until it works

I have a few, one of them is from the 50's

Go for an antique one (if you can afford it) oak is the best. Try to avoid new ones made from plastic

Must be mint! good on you user.

I had an ex soviet one from 1960, it was hand painted with Soviet proper gander and it Russian it had "finger place for red eternal"

Unfortunately it was stolen when I graduated college 3 years ago and was moving.

ITT Gentlemen of good taste.

This is a Danish one I picked up on Ebay. Not sure when it was made, but I liked the finish.

Yeah totally but the last time I saw this was with 4 or 5 really bad a few bucks more never hurt. Didn't get onto it until I was 20, my brother made me one for my birthday, when he got his carpenter training and boon maybe I get a antique one too.

There's a finger box simulator you can get. You'll work it out OP.

I read somewhere they were given out to Party members as gifts for children until 1939.

Nothing needs to be said...its a classic.

Ah! Yes that's the from the danish miniature set from Heinrich Guttners collection from memory 1983 - 1986???

You are one lucky boy.

That's nice. Simple, clean Nordic design.

Ok, settle down, Beavis

Check em

i know most of you store your fingerboxes away safely, but if anyone here has a nice model accessable right now, show some with timestamp
