Charlie Flick Posted February 1, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2021 DD: A beautiful job on your Smoke Pot. I have not seen any of those before up close. Who would be responsible for employing these in the field, Engineers? Thanks for the post. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinb Posted February 1, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2021 They were carried in the M8 and M20 armored cars. Probably others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Detective Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks for the nice words guys, I agree something you dont see much of. What I have read is they were used in training, marking airfields and in combat to obscure. Got the second one done today might do a couple more. It is interesting to see the different style handles from the various manufactures that made them, I may do a post showing the styles if there is eny interest. Van over at Questmaster made the stencils for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptainssurplus Posted February 7, 2021 Share #6 Posted February 7, 2021 Very cool and lots of dedication to make these. I have 2 real smoke pots in my collection. Will be selling one here in the future when time permits and I get a idea of value. I think I paid $300 or 350 for each years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
