Canvas Linemans Pouch

From the estate of a USMC Veteran. His dog tag is dated 10/50. I have never seen one made of supple (not rigid waterproofed) canvas before. The printinting on the flap is garbled, and even using night vision, I could only read the word POUCH. All info is much appreciated.

 

Thanks, Al

I finally was able to decipher the printing on the flap. It reads CS-35. There must have been too much ink on the stamp causing it to smear on the canvas. It most likely is the predecessor to the rigid CS-35-A. I finally found a similar one on robinb's outstanding post on his enormous, wonderful collection. If you are interested, pictures of it are located on page 14, posts 326 and 327 of his thread. These apparently are very scarce. But, you need to read his entire thread to see his collection, it's amazing.

 

Thanks,

Al
