My dad passed away and left me his fingerbox, he's had it since he was a kid. Though it's kind of old, I'm thinking of selling it. How much do you think my fingerbox is worth /b/?
Fuck off you faggot dont sell it
>>686467244
4, maybe 5.
>>686467398
don't listen to him, you can get a quarter irish dozen if you sell to a professional
What is a fingerbox?
>>686467244
Don't you fucking know? It's a priceless family heirloom, you don't sell it. You keep it and pass it down to your son.
Don't do it, if it's in ok condition antique fingerboxes can be worth a ton.
>>686467739
It's like a handbox, but smaller. Great for travel.
New fingerbox are going digital. Hang on to it for a few more years and it'll be worth a shitload more
>>686467244
I heard you can exchange some for bitcoin, a good set can be sold for three or four.

>>686467739
I would like to know also and where to buy said "fingerbox"
>>686467244

Timestamp or gtfo
All modern finger boxes either have digital aspects or they are made of that 3D printed shit. They are garbage.
Nothing like an actual wooden box. I would agree with this anon OP >>686467831
>>686467244
thats a pretty nice fingerbox, judging by the appearance of the wood id say it was made in Switzerland around 1927. The AY company made some of the best fingerboxes in the world, some models can fetch up to 5 pounds of middle cut pork leg joint. If you are serious about selling it I can offer you ten mounds of silver ears for it. you can contact me at 3032-2@gmail
>>686467244
Don't you fucking sell that, OP. A fingerbox, especially vintage ones like that, is a treasured thing. Keep it, use it, and pass it along to your children.
>>686467965
What?
>>686467244
Jesus christ, looks ancient. Might be worth quite a bit if you sell it to a collector who knows what he's doing.
>>686468028
Fingerboxes are great for kids, or the elderly. I have a small collection at home from back when we used to travel a lot.
It looks like one of the more mass produced boxed by Ayo, are they signed by Stromboli?
If they are they're worth millions for the set
source: years in the trade
Fingerboxes these days are shit
>>686467739
>spot the newfag
>>686468391
holy shit you've had your hands on a Stromboli?!
Man, I wished they weren't illegal where I live. What I wouldn't give to revive my child memories.
>>686468318
Fake and gay.
No, the picture isn't fake, but 'fingerboxes', in the context being described in this thread, are fake.
>>686467244
dude, if that a 1954 set ? if it is complete and still in original state, you have something really valuable there.
>>686468318
Shit is that an original Jon Connington?
>>686468620
Yea i work in a fingerbox shop, got a few in store right now
>>686468318
The one on the far right has some jagged edges around the fingerhole, and as this normally detracts quite a bit from the fingerbox experience, normally results in the box being burned down during production. Because of this, collectors generally are willing to pay quite a bit for them.
>>686468653
Kys
>>686468653
Right. It's literally a box with an object inside.
Nothing more
>>686468724
A FEW?!? I'll be fucking lucky if I get to see one my entire life!
>>686468827
I paid 250k for my stromboli with this particular detail. Its one of my most priced posessions.
>>686468972
Yeah they're a bit of a masterpiece, years of craftmanship goes into each one haha
Is there a subreddit for fingerboxes? I want learn more about them. Thx guys :D

I have one from Japan made from jade, it's apparently worth about 8. Bought it for a fraction of that from an old shop owner who wanted to unload some things before he passed. It's from 1721.
>>686467244
All this for finger boxes yet we can't count to ten when it matters...
OP here
>>686467739
always works
>>686469032
I saw a Stromboli first edition on eBay a few years back, just barely lost the bid. Just under 350k
Of course the ancient Babylonians were the pioneers of early fingerbox technology, they used to hide scorpions inside them when they left the house to deter thieves
>>686469828
Didn't they find one in king Tut's tomb like right next to his favorite cat

History student here. There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE that Babylonians used fingerboxes. How could a civilization that used the Sexagesimal numeral system have known the fingerbox?
>>686472184
Odd one

They certainly did and even the Romans carried on the tradition with Fingerus Boximus
>>686467244
Legend tells of the glories that are found within the original finger boxes. Are they made of wood unlike today's digitalized finger boxes?

It stimulates micro-muscular tissue in the fingers, giving a whole heap of medical benefits and psychological ones. It also feels good.
It's a ancient japanese invention, and since all emperors and the like wanted one they're known for their collectors value. Some made from the most masterful craftsmen has been sold for millions of dollars.
