The Original Paratrooper 'Cricket'
The ACME No. 470 Clicker, or ‘Cricket’ as it became known, was conceived in the 1920s as a time-keeping device for musicians, but was adopted in 1944 by US paratroopers who needed a way of discretely identifying friendly forces after landing behind enemy lines at night. 7,000 were supplied ahead of the D-Day invasion, very few of which now survive and are expensive antiques. Our authentic replica is made in the UK by the same company, on the actual tooling and machines used in 1944. It is superb quality and almost indistinguishable from the originals. Nowadays, they also serve as a useful dog training aid. Supplied wartime-style cardboard box with certificate of authenticity.

Nice object, and a great dog recaller

A nice little thing to hold in one's hand.
And practical: I walk a German Shepherd, who roams away a certain distance when off the lead - in a large park, say, or countryside or the beach, sometimes at night in the dark. The click! certainly carries (of course, she has superb hearing) and she will then come back to me, if only to 'touch base'.
(Other owners use clickers in training - this is a little different.)
