Description
Two antique little metal tins made for selling hertzite catswhisker crystals which were used in early radios. I'm not sure how, but it does remind me of the di-lithium crystals which powered the Starship Enterprise. Just me? Sorry. These were probably made in the 1920s and are basically similar to old gramophone needle tins. One make is Neutron and the other is Shaw's. Excitingly they do still contain some unused crystals.
