MI9 Toothbrush

Object details

Calling all budding spies! This may look like a normal toothbrush, but a magnetised compass swinger is concealed within the handle. This is an example of the work of Section 9 of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (MI9). One of MI9’s specialties was smuggling escape aids into prisoner of war camps in otherwise unremarkable looking objects.
