What are the chances?
I mean really now... to find that after it layed there that long?!? You must be doing something right. Maybe a recent karma give-away was a factor? Funny how things work out. Thanks for sharing this story Kori. |

Perhaps Scott can offer "Pick Insurance", or extended warrantee protection.

Haha! I am too OCD to lose picks ... usually ... but today I lost one ... at home.
I'm trying to remind my hands that I used to play guitar after eight days with my right hand in a bandage. (No big deal - trigger release procedure) but it's amazing how quickly the hands stiffen up! I was sitting finger picking my national (or trying to and the pick I'd been using fell from my knee .. no probs, it'll be on the yellow carpet! Oh no it wasn't. So being "as 'ow I am" I had to start moving the furniture around. I found it of course .. you wouldn't think a 346 triangle could travel so far! When I first got my B.C picks, I wondered how I might avoid losing it, and my solution has been to find good quality tins (in my case WW1 "Princess Mary" brass boxes) for each guitar which contain my picks, shubb capo and digi tuner. The box lives in the case, and every time I get a guitar out, the box comes out too, and when I've finished playing, the pick, and capo go back in the box, and the box goes into the case ... with the guitar. Like this :

I own a brown .60 Charmed Life pick and decided to bring it to church with me about a week after buying it. I loved the tone while using it so much I wanted to hear that at church. Just before Mass I placed it on the piano to my left, turned to the right to do something then, without looking, I reached for it and succeeded in knocking it to the floor.
The EXACT SAME colored, carpeted floor... As I was looking intently for it, Mass started so I had to quickly grab one of my "normal old Dunlop" pics and ended up playing the entire Mass with that. I found it after Mass after looking around for 20 minutes. Never again! It DOESN'T leave my house!! Best, PJ

Someone should suggest to StewMac that they stock "Princess Mary brass boxes" and "Altoid Mints tins" as guitar accessory containers. Might be a big opportunity for them.

Silly, you posted that beautiful box before. Wow. Yet ANOTHER accessory I now crave.

I bought most of mine before 2014, but of course prices peaked between the anniversary of the start and end of WW1. A British newspaper produced some replicas which were not solid brass but did much the same job for guitarists. There are quite a lot on UK ebay, but also some (of both types) in the US ebay. Originals should not have been over cleaned and many have splits in the corners of the boxes, which can't easily be repaired.
