I found an old sheep intestine condom in a 19th century engineering reference book. The pages where I found it had been water damaged, likely, I later learned, from the condom having been washed after use and put in the book to dry and then forgotten. Condoms were expensive at the time and frequently reused. I did not keep either the condom or the book.

> I did not keep either the condom or the book. Nobody would have suspected the former until you denied doing it. Thanks for sharing the story. P.S. Time to throw that old condom away. Decluttering is good for the soul.
