i didnt know they made them anymore
i have a pair that my great grandfather gave to me from when he was in the war,...they are sterling silver and read 'made in occupied japan' on the bottoms of them,...very warn olive green velvet 'pockets'
i love them and have used them since i was 12,....
about 6 years ago, i found them in restoration hardware, they arent as nice as the old ones but the theory is the same,......and they make a great gift for anyone, no one wants to have cold hands
and you say you wouldnt want any on fire in your pocket, but its really not like an open flame,......they are fabulous
