Nylon Halex toothbrush
This may look like a normal toothbrush but a magnetised compass swinger is concealed within the handle.
This is an example of the work of Section 9 of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (MI9). One of MI9's specialities was smuggling escape aids into prisoner of war camps in otherwise unremarkable looking objects.
