This one is a blast from the past.
From 1957, and direct from a flea market on the east coast of the USA, comes this vintage classic.
Tie and napkin clip from 1957, picked up at a flea market in US forjust $1
A friend was at the markets, and heard the seller describe this to a prospective purchaser as a “useless gadget”. She went over and bought it.
For the princely sum of just US$1.
Thanks for posting a pic of this fantastic useless gadget that I gave Gary. Bought at the Columbus Flea market in New Jersey, USA in October… I heard the dealer say “Useless Gadget” and immediately thought of The Gadget Grill! Glad you both had a laugh. Hope the listeners did too.
For the listeners: the bottom line on the clip’s background..it is dated 1957 as mentioned.
Quite cool in it’s original box with cover.

Well – that does look like a rather useless gadget. I would have liked to have seen it in person the day that I took my dear friend, LK, the purchaser, to Columbus Flea Market to find such treasures!
