VarkDriver Posted September 25, 2014 Share #28 Posted September 25, 2014 It kinda looks similar to the old printing blocks that newspapers used... ? Neat collection of items. Congratulations! This piece is really intesting. I wish I knew what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1canpara Posted September 25, 2014 Share #30 Posted September 25, 2014 It kinda looks similar to the old printing blocks that newspapers used... ? Neat collection of items. Congratulations! I agree, it looks like an old style press plate for printing a photo in the newspaper. Great haul of stuff Mark! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton67 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share #36 Posted September 25, 2014 Thank you for all of your nice comments. Does anyone know what the following things are?: Bag in post 9-11 Sword in post 14-16 Pouch in post 20 Black pouch in post 21 As for the item in post 23-26 (newspaper printing block?) what is odd is that it looks as if it came in this box. The box was has a stamp dating it 1960. On the back of the box which is very hard to read it says in pen "Elwood Vose." It looks like it was a photo of a tailgunner (does anyone agree?).

doyler Posted September 25, 2014 Share #37 Posted September 25, 2014 I agree it looks like a reversed image for printing.Similar to the old glass negatives.As for the box it may have been a random box that just happened to be the right size and the item was stored in it.I found a WW2 set of DIs and insignias in a box from a jewelry store dated 1908.came out of an estate and its how they were just stored by the owner. The black pouch is anyone's guess.First impression is a handcuff case....but its a guess.Doesn't strike me as a cartridge or cap box but maybe its foreign?

The photo looks like it may be a camera instead of a machine gun. (?) The velvet thing with the holes and slit look like a necklace holder as they have that same slit to hold a necklace for retail display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
