This fine doohicky was put out as a promotion for Bounce, who was not doing so fine in the market place at that time. They guaranteed that this baby would pick up any sorta hair or lint like problems that you had, and it left behind a nice Mountain Fresh Scent. Why I do believe that it was designed by a German, but you people are gonna have to research that part.

Scotsman are an active bunch, romping around the moors and craggy hills, hearding sheep and smacking one another with pointy things. But, when it rains the fabric of the kilt loosens, sometimes dropping around their ankles. This would not only be embarrassing, but dangerous! the Kilt stay prevents this from happening. You wind this up, and as the kilt belt expands, the spring keeps it taught, and as the kilt dries it pulls in the slack. Notice the gold 'rope' decoration, its the clue that led me to this conclusion. This is a kilt-stay, originally patented by one Angus McClorggann.
