Wizard cheating device was used to hold and conceal up your sleeve. Patent date 1889. clearly marked wizard. The spring loaded clip attached to the cuff and the card slid in the other end reddy to slid out. Found at flea market. Seller didn't know what they were and neither did I. Found them in Schroders Price guide(no internet ).Just saw them up on EBay between $ 10 AND $20 starting bid. I believe they are silver plated and in great shape. I like unusual and they are. Havn't got to use them yet. Enjoy

    My guess she was there in 58. She was commissioned in WWII (1943) and was in every major conflict, and a few minor ones, since then until 1995. She did spend time in Sasebo if my memory serves. While I was aboard we were home ported out of San Diego and then Pearl. We served out of Yokosuka, Olongopo, and Diego Garcia during my time aboard as well. We visited Hong Kong (to drop off an officer for surgery) and Australia (the greatest friendly host country to US Military I encountered).

    They only slap people whose names here start with a consonant. We ... I mean I am safe.

    No they normally slap people for selling and buying discussions and rude postings.

    Tal safe too
  12. AR8Jason AR8Jason, 4 months, 6 days ago
    Your name starts with a "P" ... so you had better tread lightly. P is a consonant.
