My old house in Rhode Island is now about 140 years old, and I remember just
this thing as a kid, watching my grandfather shave with a cutthroat... "but
where does the blade go when you put it in there?" When I got old enough to
realize that it went nowhere, I decided that I was never going to remodel
that house myself.
Then again, after so many years of moisture in the walls, I honestly wonder
if I'd find anything other than iron oxide powder if I opened it up.
