Personal Effects

One of the reasons the "Call of Cthulhu" TTRPG resonates with me is that I love the classic Mythos era of the 1920s and 30s.  Everything from the clothing and architecture to magazine advertisements fascinates me.  Hence my enthusiasm for this excellent video from Gentleman's Gazette.  The channel normally concentrates on matters sartorial, but their "12 Things Every Man from the 1930's Had in His Pockets" focuses on the everyday carry of close to a century ago.  That includes everything from the different styles of billfold in use, to the popularity of pocket knives- some of which weren't too different from modern-day multitools.
