The 1946 film "The Dark Corner" is a hard-boiled crime film about a detective, Mark Stevens, who gets involved in the activities of a wealthy art dealer. His office manager and assistant is Lucille Ball.

Early in the picture, Mark finds that thug William Bendix is following him, and, in his office, confronts William.

Mark tells William to empty his pockets.


Mark: "All right, shell out"

William puts his goods onto a table, among the items is a two dollar roll of nickels.


Roll of nickels on table, the label reads "$2 / 5c NICKELS"

Mark: "Make nice brass knuckles, don't they?"

William: "Brass knucks ain't legal - I just carry my change the hard way".

"Keep the change ya filthy animal."







I wonder if that exact style wrapper can be found on eBay? That should entertain me for a bit!

In the Navy, we would carry several (8) quarters in the back of our neckerchief, secured by a

couple of threads... the neckerchief was tied in a slipknot, so, in the case of an altercation,

we could quickly employ it as a very effective weapon...... worked well.... Cheers, RickO
