The blue one in the picture was my FILs and the SeaBee patch was in the box. It is semi-hard box but no date or USN marking that I can find. We're these issued or private purchase? The plastic bag is full of anchor buttons and with the exception of one spool they are all full of thread that appears to be orginal. The green "kit" was well used, only a couple needles, bits of thread and couple buttons is all that is left in it. We found it in the duffle bag of a BIL who was an Army medic (don't know unit - but know he served in the Pacific for 41 months).

I think they were issued to troops, given by the red cross, and purchased. They came in a bunch a varieties, and different colors.
