Finally found my grandpa's WW2 fingerbox after all this time

Finally found my grandpa's WW2 fingerbox after all this time.

Haven't seen one in a while so let's have a historical fingerbox thread.

this is my grandfathers who took it off the dead body of a Vietcong fighter

Wow it looks pretty high quality

bump

What is a fingerbox for?

faggot

That actually looks quite nice. I wonder what kind of wood they used when building it?

Fucking newfag. How do you not know this?

lol newfag

Newfags to try and pretend they're oldfags.
Basically a made up thing.

I ordered one off ebay in 2009. I bought a counterfeit and still feel like shit every time i remember that i bought it

Newfag repellant.

nigger

You probably don't even own a fingerbox. Newfags are always trying to claim that fingerboxes are a meme because they aren't old enough to remember the original fingerbox discussion threads.

box for fingers newfag

>tfw your father willed his fingerbox to your younger brother
20 fucking years ago and it still stings.

It's a stupid old meme from Sup Forums. Where it should stay.

That craftsmanship is fifth century.

this shit belongs on Sup Forums. epic meme dudes.

I feel you man. My best friend had that happen to him. He hasn't spoken to his brother since.

...

shutup fag

...

I must have missed this meme while scrolling for over 7 years

hey lad, we got another one

r8 my collection.

I've been around a while, but never have really been that interested in Sup Forums makes sense then.

That's actually a pretty sweet collection. I really need to update mine.

I legit wanted to kill my bro, but I realize it was my fathers choice, not his. My brother already had kids and I was hesitant to marry, I understand it now.

A while is more than a year fagboy. If you had truly.been around for a while you would have heard if finger boxes. They get posted on every board

Don't worry about it. They're illegal in most states.

it's a box for your finger

Really? Lol substates are so fucking cucked.

FUN FACT: Soapstone fingerboxes sometimes carried by wealthy Islamic warriors became highly sought after souvenirs of war for returning knights during the crusades. As they would check their opponents in battle to confirm a kill they would kneel and press their finger to the slain's chest looking for their fingerboxes that were kept in the breast pocket of their robes thus originating the phrase "finger on the pulse".

Was grandpa lubing his fingers with this before talking about heritage behind that barn with you?

look at all the (you)s you got with this low quality bait.

My grandfather had an original LEFT-HANDED fingerbox. He found it at an auction. After he passed away, no one could find it. We suspect his son stole it while grandpa was on his deathbed. He's cut off all contact from anyone else in the family and moved to japan. So that would make sense. What do?

Track that fucker down and get it back. The family fingerbox is priceless.

I know that I should, but it's a left handed finger box, and even though it's rare, I'm right-handed

pull it from his cold fingers user

Someday, you might have a left handed son.

Fingerbox is an item fad that began on Sup Forums’s Sup Forums board sometime in the summer of 2010.
The fad involves someone posting a picture of a Fingerbox with a seemingly genuine question or remark, followed by other users acting as if they not only all know what the OP is referring to, but have owned one since childhood.
The common discussion points are the number of holes, the materials the box is made of, and different custom boxes and their merits.
Inevitably a user finally asks what a Fingerbox is, at which point they will promptly be laughed at and called a Newfag.

He also stole approx. 10k in gold from me granddad while he was dying. I bet he hid the fingerbox in the gold coins!

Sup Forums really is old Sup Forums isn't it?

Still bitter.
My cousin has a finger box from the Nuremberg trials.
Uncle said a nazi tried to bribe him with it.

I don’t know why faggots pretend left-handed fingerboxes are so fucking cool. They are rare because lefties are rare, and most designs work fine for either anyways.

Well Sup Forums is nothing more than porn, traps, trap porn, and one guy who shoved a human bone up his ass, so where else do we have to go for the good ol' memes?

This particular model included springs.

Wow, four-fingers fingerbox. My uncle have a malachite fingerbox, but he doesn't allow me to take a photo.
When I will grow up I will buy myself one.

Degenerates like you and sink posters will get the rope one day.

bong jealous that is can't find a finger box to but his tiny fingers in.

>4 holes
Jesus your gramps was hardcore as fuck

On the other side of my family, there's a Brass-knuckles fingerbox from my civil war ancestors. Sadly, my grandma donated it to a museum. I will only ever see it again behind bullet-proof glass.

WTF Sup Forums! You are all sick fucks. Only jews push fingerboxes.

>log poster
>day of the rope

...

I lost mine and got a cheap Chinese copy while I wait for another one to be made.
It's pretty shit, doesn't feel right

>2017
>Doesn't have a digital fingerbox

A friend of mine smuggled this one out of a psych ward after spending a few years there. Passing by it in the hall was the only thing that kept him sane. Now he can use it as much as he wants. Lucky bastard.

My dad was a major in the military. When he died and we cleaned out his basement, we found his fingerbox.
Mom said it was a gift he got when stationed in Germany.

It smelled like pine mixed with fermented beans.

Did it have the springs in original condition?

A finger box all though it may seem to be a relatively simple device, it is not on the contrary of being simple a finger box is more than a box with a hole in it, it is a massively complex device containing more than a thousand separate components per box, usually with nine boxes per set that makes over nine thousand separate components, but the device will work limitedly with just one box.

Finger boxing is also known as fingering and boxing and is a massive fad among teens aged 13-18, the device in a simpler form were first invented by William John Trolington over 100 years ago in Australia.

A Finger box basically simulates a feeling, originally this was accomplished with mechanical devices in the box with some extremely cruel pranksters putting item such as glass and nails in witch would often decapitate the finger, this led to a act of parliament in 1919 by the UK banning the devices, which was quickly followed by the rest of the world.

Although still banned the “underground market” off finger boxes saw a boom in sales during the 1980’s and was redeveloped into its current electrical module in the mid 1990’s buy an unnamed Chinese worker.
The device works on the same principals as electrical prosthetic limbs, an electrical impulse is shot up the nervous system that will make the hand think that it is feeling something; anything can be simulated such as stroking a cat or shaking a hand.

The finger box costs around 50 per box and are usually sold out within minutes they have reportedly have gone for over 200 per box on ebay.

They really don't make finger box like they use too .

Harry, don't you have a black lady to make happy?

Not a meme I thought I’d see today

What year did this start? I don’t remember

Leave and never come back. To make sure you should Kys

old /new/, but close enough.

Vietnamese finger boxes are traditionally made of sanded bamboo. They're extremely durable but that one appears to be of amateur make.
The maker's marking can be seen on the bottom "WagTheWog", which was likely an ancestor's family name. It was common to see shoddy fingerboxes like this during the war due to low resources and limited time for fine craftsmanship.

2009

Back when Bitcoins were a few cents a piece.

>falling for the “fingerbox meme” meme
Found the newfag

I was too busy sucking my dick to invest. dangit.

Goddamn. I really need to leave this place

Worst part is that I’d been here for a while already

...

I bet you vape, fag.

I kick myself in the ass daily

Absolutely haram

I heard that fleshlight is going to reveal a new line of fingerboxes pretty soon

...
