emergency surgical instrument kit for minor surgery (question inside)

[federicovitiello]

Hi Guys,

 

I found this emergency surgical instrument kit for minor surgery. It's marked: "Yale Belt Corp". I have a doubt: It could be a ww2 surgery kit?

I saw few like this that people say are from WWII, but i would like be sure. During the years they didn't change a lot I thought...

 

Online, I found this site about medic equpiment during the war: http://www.mtaofnj.org/content/WWII%20Combat%20Medic%20-%20Dave%20Steinert/EquipmentOfWWIICombatMedic.htm

And there also is a kit like mine. We found this kit in Italy, near Gotic Line.

 

What do you think guys?

Thank you!

 

Federico

It doesn't look like the WW2 type to me.

 

That resembles the post war item.

 

Some of the tools/ instruments are incorrect too

[carrabassett]

Post-war for sure. The instruments are definitely post-war and the case does not look WW2 vintage with the markings. Hope this helps, sorry to disappoint.

Thank for your reply guys. I thought it was WWII because few people told me and also because I saw that web site.

In that site I saw this kit. Maybe is wrong? Just for asking.

 

Thank you so much

The kit is different on website

 

The kit you have is Vietnam era-there is a demand for that stuff !!

Those kits are pretty difficult to find with the full contents and in decent shape regardless of the era. The WWII era cases tend to be more of a brownish khaki or a lighter shade of OD green.

 

The contents themselves have only ever changed slightly.

I have one almost identical to the one shown, and mine is Vietnam era based on the dates of the contents inside. Very nice kit!

I just sold one of these that was navy marked circa 1960's. I think this one is same era.
