Yet another interesting piece, a musette bag marked with the 110th FA, I believe its for the 2nd battalion. Most likely used in the 1920s-30s. The name on the bottom of the bag is not listed in the WW1 roster for the 29th division.

Very nice Interwar Officers' Musette Bag and it is indeed a Gemsco.

That is a terrific sketch board set, very unique.  Is that a Wittnauer compass?

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

 

Also,

 

110th Field Artillery, Maryland National Guard, Pikesville MD, circa 1930's

 

When Ferd H. Reuwer served in Maryland's 110th Field Artillery in the early 1930s, they still used horses to haul cannons around the unit's training site in Pikesville...The proud history of the 110th, which traces its roots back to the Revolutionary War, came to an end on Saturday morning (ed: August 2009) when members rolled up their red and gold flags and sheathed them for good. The unit's deactivation after 94 years in Pikesville is part of an overall reorganization of the Maryland National Guard.  See SHUTTING DOWN A MILITARY UNIT RICH IN HISTORY

I have had a fascination with the 29th Division, my Great Grandfather served in the 115th infantry in WW1. Thanks for the info on the 110th!

This is my favorite piece. WW1 revolver ammo pouch. Unit and soldier marked. Marked with Machine Gun section of D company, 308th Regiment, 78th Infantry Division. It is also marked lightly with an ASN # and a Soldier name.

OK Bob, you win.

 

 

For those of us who aren't up on Field Gear . . . you have to say what this is and why it is rare! :) I'm really intrigued right now. It looks super cool, but I have no idea what is actually is.

OH, is it this:

 

The Rebecca/Eureka transponding radar was a short-range radio navigation system used for the dropping of airborne forces and their supplies. It consisted of two parts, the Rebecca airborne transceiver and antenna system, and the Eureka ground-based transponder. Rebecca calculated the range to the Eureka based on the timing of the return signals, and its relative position using a highly directional antenna.
