Most of them were not terribly exciting finds but when you line them all up on a tea spoon it starts to look like a pretty good heap eh?

Do you have any brand on yours? Or anything else that may help find if they were similar in any way? Does yours have markings on the inside of the back case? The exterior design is extremely similar.

The back and front have hinges like they are supposed to open but I can't get either to open. My first instinct is to jam a butterknife in there and pry like crazy but I have been resisting the temptation. I found it in Christchurch so it wouldn't surprise me if there were two.
