Let's do a quick test.
Since there are lots of newfags here
posting finger boxes in 2018
>t. summer fag
>putting decals on your finger box
I never understood what's the big deal with these boxes? Should I try to stick my dick in
You know it ruins the acoustics when you stick shit on the sides, right?
You have to be careful with cardboard ones, better than plastic mostly but a bad cardboard one is worth less than a bad plastic one
My grandpa actually passed away recently and gave me his wooden finger box from WW2, I keep it on my desk.
Finger box is a newfag meme
For fucks sake, take this shit back to /b.
I still have 2 of my favorites one is made out of hickory the other birch
I use to have so much fun making and tending to them where did the fucking time
Why did you have to post this op? I lost all my finger boxes in a boating accident last month and was just starting to not cry myself to sleep everynight.
I just use my finger
Friend of mine offered me a couple thousand for my grandpa's old set. I really needed the money. Wish I could get it back.
My grandpa gave me one he stole from a village in Vietnam. I have tried others but his still works the best desu senpai
>Finger Box or “fingerbox” is a tactile art piece created by Ay-O in the 1960s. The boxes are small hollow cubes with a hole in the side. These boxes are filled with various objects, such as hair, cotton balls, nails. It is then on the art’s observer to put their fingers in the hole of the box. Online, people have used the box as a type of prank, where in which people ask about the box and others pretend to know what it is and to have owned one since childhood. When someone asks what the box is, others in the thread mock the person who asked.
So autists will pretend they have these and will mock you if you ask what it is FYI.
>One slot
>Stickers
>Current year
user I gotta be honest, if you're attempting some retro vibe, I get it, but this is just sloppy execution
I have 4 of these that I use before the gym, after the gym, before sex, and after sex.
>he doesnt have a fingerbox, so he has to look it up.
Parents gave away my finger box collection when I moved away to college. I even had a partially intact tiffany glass box with the opal inlet and silver details. Could have made a down payment on a house with them :(
This fingerbox has been in my family since the civil war, it was finally handed down to me.
The fuck is that? I've never seen one of those at my grandparents houses. On both sides.
Fucking amateur
Why mark your fingerbox with fragile? Is the material poor?
I always use fine mahogany for my fingerboxes; they can take a blow if I accidentally drop them see.
>people own boxex with just hair in them
>this_looks_believable.jpg
you must be some kind of dumb
Ay-O tried to capitalize off of the fingerbox tradition after it became popular after WW1. Ay-Os are good, but they don't beat a handmade fingerbox.

Description
Designed by Maciunas and mailed as advertising for three things: "Finger Box", an edition of 50 signed and numbered examples (see M26382) similar to this one but with different fillings; "Tactile Box", an edition of 100 signed and numbered examples of one-foot-cubed boxes with different fillings; and "Orange Box", Ay-O's architectural environment at the Smolin Gallery in NYC.
Depends on the quality and size really. I had one in high school and put some stickers on it. Sounded fine to me.

My bitch of an ex took my ornate walnut fingerbox, it was an antique over 200 years old!
