I purchase this at a flea market today. What is it?
Can you identify this WWII item?

It's for an assault raft. Stores the extra bladders in case one gets shot out.

Thank you! Are these common in the collecting community? What are they worth? Thanks

I don't think they are all that common,. but then again, not many guys are looking for them. A friend just bought one for me on ebay for less than $10. I have the raft, but would part with the whole thing in a heartbeat. Too big to do anything with.

Try "5 man assault boat". There should be an old thread here on the Forum in the field gear section. I think I posted it about a year ago.
