IMBS - But while discussing the hobby with er in doors - she wondered if there is anything collectable that is dangerous that perhaps we should keep away from.
We may have heard about the 'danger' of owning instruments / watches that were made with radio active paint but is there anything else to be avoided that is more deadly that the slight risk from radio active paint.
Many years ago I was told that asbestos was used in early gas masks from WW1 or WW2 - is this true?
Also if depleated Uranium is used in shells - is there a hazard in owning the shell cases or the boxes they came in?
I'd be interesting to know what else is out there.
