Of late, an ordinary USB flash drive just won't work and for those who agree, there's the 'Narrow Bridge Steampunk USB' created by Etsy user 'WillRockwell.' Made of hardwood, this flash drive even comes with a faux vintage tin box to complete the vibe of the era.
WillRockwell's 'Narrow Bridge Steampunk USB' was inspired by a "narrow bridge" sign that you see on lonely country roads. If you're into steampunk, this is for you.
