This was given to me by a friend today, who had visited a recent Mardi Gras parade. His girlfriend found it while randomly scavenging around.

It originally had a red rubber band on it, but that ended up cut and lost, hence the regular rubber band to keep it closed. Thankfully it was never used though.

Looks about right, but also looks like they're loaded backwards.. 🤷

If it works in either direction, this direction seems very deadly!

It really does look like its about equally dangerous either way.. ☠️
