Does anyone have one of these doohickeys lying around?

I had one but lost it ages ago.

(Do they still give them out at conferences? I haven't been to a mass tuba event in about 10 years. TUSABTEC 2012 was my last rodeo in that regard.)

I think so. Let me have a look.

I would love to have one of these. My last conference was the 1987 TUSABTEC and I do not remember them giving these out at that time. I have never actually seen one except in a photograph.

I thought I had one and I do. I think I picked this up from the Army conference 2001 or 2002. Long time ago.

Posting a few pics so people know what this thing looks like. It’s pretty tiny.

Yep, that's the one.

I got mine in 2011 and lost track of it around 2017.

Anybody have one they'd be willing to get rid of?

I've had one of these on my keyring for close to 20 years now. That sticker is long gone.

If you're really cool though, you also have the James R New version.

Wife became an unexpected guest at the hospital yesterday (numbers have turned around and headed in the right direction now) but I will have a look to see what I still have next time I’m home.

If I find that I have one (stumbling across it, etc.), I'll think of you and offer it up (free).

I'm a key-carrying minimalist.

Not only no "fob", but I have every vehicle's individual key (on a set of hooks in my clothes closet) hooked onto ONE house key (NOTHING else) with a smallest-size key ring, so - when I drive whichever vehicle - there are never more than two keys in my pocket.

also: sock drawer...
ONLY black of the same brand.
one other drawer: two pair of long men's black "hose" (to go with formal wear).
