Mom's Necchi is in a cabinet with the ink well and pencil tray. For years, reason unknown, it had a bullet in it. Just checked, and its a 40 cal Smith and Wesson. Really strange, as I know of no guns anyone had that took that caliber. My uncle was a CHP officer, and he had a safety pin in with his spare rounds in the little packet on his Sam Brown belt. That fascinated my sister and I when we were little, but as an adult I can understand it. Since he never even drew his gun at work, he no doubt had more use for a safety pin, lol. No one uses them for ink anymore, if they ever did, and it would be fun to figure out what's in them now. It's way too good a "safe place" to put things to leave it empty.
