Bonkers Victorian inventions, including:
  • A steel collar, to protect against garrotting
  • A mechanical leech, in case there's a shortage of real leeches
  • A corset with built-in inflatable boobs

If you ever get to Leeds and visit the Armoury (the national museum of arms, a huge place, filled by clearing out the attic in the Tower of London), give me a shout.

Last time I visited, they had over forty feet of display cases under the category "The 19th Century: Articles a prudent gentleman might carry about his person whilst travelling in Whitechapel".
