pararaftanr2 Posted May 26, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 26, 2020 I agree it was lend lease and have seen a photo of it in the turret of a Sherman tank supplied to the Brits, but I was under the impression it was part of their #19 wireless set's equipment and was used to store head and hand sets and other small radio accessories. I picked one from the trash walking to school as a kid and it fought in many backyard battles in the 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Keith Posted May 28, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 28, 2020 I found one many years ago and had me stumped for what it was for and who made it. Thanks, BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
