Solder holder from QST June 1958

This Hint and Kink from the June 1958 issue of QST was previously mentioned here:

I found an old Polaroid 35mm film cassette to use as a solder holder.  The end cap wasn't crimped on (it was instant slide film to be developed at home) so it worked just like the Kodak Snap Caps:

It should work as well or better than my old solder holder method (solder wound on an old wine "cork"):

 

Previously I used empty plastic solder wick holders for solder but they don't hold that much and they melt if someone is careless :)
