Since 1962 - Sam the Swatter

The flyswatter introduced has been good companion to my grandfather for a few decades. From my early years i remember my grandfather running with this around the house and crushing the poor bastards and their little bug-bodies.

Actually even my mother remembers this scene vividly in her head, since the flyswatter is nearly the same age age my mother. The flyswatter is made from bamboo stick from Caucasia and the leather part is from Estonia.

The crushing and slashing can continue for another 45 years since the tool comes still in handy and is as nimble as always.
