This WWI spare parts box for the M1918 BAR is as found from an old estate.  There are plenty of these boxes previously posted as they are not a hard item to find.  I have had many of these boxes pass through my hands (more so WWII dated) over the years but this is the first one I found that still contained it's original contents.  I enjoy finding things such as this, it's like opening a time capsule.  So here is the box with contents as this particular soldier, sailor or marine carried it.  It contains an oil can, combination tool, chamber/small cleaning brush combination, trigger guard retaining pin (spare part) and unrelated to the BAR, an M1903 rifle combination tool.
