(21)A fifty foot coil of rough hemp rope. Reliable for climbing, tying off, or lashing crates in a hurry.
A plain bedroll for nights on the road. Clean enough and padded for a city dweller used to hard benches.
A tinderbox to spark a flame. Handy for lanterns, stoves, and illicit alley smokes.
A hand torch. Good for short-term illumination and theatrical entrances.
A brass hooded lantern that tucks its light when you need shade. Popular with late-night delivery boys.
Flask of lamp oil, unglamorous but essential for a city that prefers lamplight to streetlamps.
A hardened crowbar with a scuffed wooden handle. Good for stubborn doors and noisy exits.
A compact kit of salves, linens, and splints. Not miraculous, but it staunches blood and helps stabilize the hurt.
A tidy roll of lockpicks and small tools. Illegal in some wards, expensive in others.
Well stitched waterskin. Keeps water cool and doesn't slosh much when tucked in a satchel.
A polished steel mirror, the kind a looking-glass maker would sell on a whim to a flapper or a pickpocket.
Hard soap wrapped in waxed paper. The shop keeps a little stack near the counter for customers to freshen up.
A single stick of soft chalk. Patrons use it to mark tables, count days, or sketch a map on a crate.
A stout brass padlock. The shop will rekey to match if you leave it long enough and pay a little extra.
A pair of weighted brass dice stamped with tiny stars. Perfect for gamblers and superstitious thieves.
A forensics brush and vial set, marketed to private eyes and worried debutantes. More theatrical than scientific, but handy.
A polished pocket watch with an inset cameo. It ticks loud enough to cover quiet heartbeats and small lies.
A bluesy harmonica. Popular for alleyway signals and cheap performances in corner rooms.
A pocket ledger with a ribbon marker. A favourite of bookkeepers, spies, and errand boys.
A concealed garrote wire set in a velvet sleeve. Sells to shady patrons and stage magicians alike.
A cloudy brown bottle with a cork and a hand-lettered label. Folks swear by it after a brawl or a long night.

Shop Atmosphere
“Buttons & Brass Curios sits in a narrow brick row behind an illegal speakeasy. Shelves cram crates of brass trinkets, boxed 'tonics', tidy rolls of tools, and slightly off-kilter novelty items like laughing pocket mirrors. The owner writes prices with fountain-ink on small cards and always offers a glass of city-made ginger wine while you browse. He keeps a battered radio playing ragtime and asks polite questions that sometimes sound like courtesy and sometimes like careful eavesdropping. If business is slow he mends a customer's corset for free; if trouble comes he's more likely to slide the backdoor key with the right wink.”
