Last week at BB Gadgets, John posted about a stunning "Wristlet Route Indicator" from 1927. That delightful invention is on display at the "Curious Contraptions" show currently running at The National Trust's Standen House in East Grinstead, UK. The contraptions show is part of the National Trust's Eureka! exhibition at its museums and galleries. New Scientist has compiled a slideshow of other fantastic antique gadgets from the exhibition. Seen here is a pocket spittoon, c. 1900, and a bottle lock, c. 1881. Link to New Scientist article, Link to Eureka! exhibit info
