Believe it or not, a lock-picking set!


They probably didn't sell many, but had lots nicked.
Reminds me of the quote from the Sharpe series;

Richard Sharpe: Gimme a pick-lock, Cooper.
Cooper: Pick-lock, sir? Catch me with a pick-lock!
Patrick Harper: They did, Coop. But when you got out of Newgate
prison, you got another set, and that's the one the officer wants.
Cooper: Do I get it back, sir?
Richard Sharpe: Trust me.
Cooper: It's very hard to trust a man who wants to borrow your
pick-lock, sir.
