When you think of tourist junk, or wall hangers made from butter knife steel. You don't normally think of antiques.
So upon opening and looking at my lovely new antique Yemeni Jambiya. I thought hey this looks half decent.
Then I picked it up, and thought it felt a little light.
Jambiya
Then I inspected the blade steel, and I realized that in my hand was a masterpiece, a magnificent piece of tourist junk. Dating back to the early 1900s.
Here is a piece of history. A history of how the tourist is parted from his coin.
So does anybody else have some nice old tourist junk? Or traditional junk to share with us.
