Mokey's necklace...

[Redsonga]

I am doing my best to make a Mokey necklace for myself . I know the main part is rainbow beads, and that sometimes there is a pouch, but for the life of me I can't figure out what the little silver thing is..it does not look like a soda tab to me..or one of those old round coins with a hole in the middle..does anyone know what it is?

I guess you are too young to have experienced the sharp soda pull-tabs of the 70s and early 80s.

Yes, they did cause cuts and some people even stuffed them inside the can before drinking them erroneously believing that it couldn't be swallowed.

Oooo...*is enlightened* I guess I was/am too young, because I don't remember those at all ! Thank you!
The question is..how do I get one now ? I really don't want to buy a $9 can off ebay...you won't happen to have one somewhere would you? *bats eyes* Actually, San Fran is just the sort of place I would think it would be very easy to find in a shop somewhere (heck I wonder if that is where Mokey lived under in her younger days *lol*)..right next to one of the famous old record stores I went to once :3....I use to go there every summer *sigh* -.-

I'm not sure where to find one. I know Bert collects bottlecaps, but I've never heard of someone collecting these tabs.

There are ten million of the normal ones on ebay...maybe I will just have to make an updated version with a new tab until I find one of the old ones...it's funny how they've gotten so historic *lol*

If I were to make a replica necklace for Mokey-

I would go to an art/craft supply store and just buy some silvery double-sided cardboard. I would then cut out my own tab using online pictures for reference.

Oooo..good idea! You're so smart *hugs* . But, you know, I'm just one of those stubborn realistic to the letter collectors..I've paid a lot to be able to get the smallest real items for my many fandoms..I'm weird that way

I used to have a bracelet with a bunch of them on it when I was little, i was soooooo cool

The old ones kinda look like the ones off soup cans or off the Dole fruit cups, can someone a bit older confirm that? Or even the metal fruit juice cans, dont even know if they make those anymore...
