Hello everyone!

 

This weekend, I went to three sales where I bought items. I’m very excited about these finds, and I hope you all enjoy them too!

 

Sale 1: Collapsible water bucket (1942), Vietnam era flashlight

 

Sale 2: WWII women’s army dress uniform, women’s M43 field jacket, man’s wool shirt, M1944 goggles, WWII helmet liner 

 

The uniforms above belonged to a husband and wife who both served together in the Philippines. 

 

Sale 3: Vietnam(?) sun pith helmet

 

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! Is there an estimate on the era of the pith helmet based on the contract number?

Nice helmet liner, can never have too many of them!  
 

If you post an up close of the stamp in the pith I might be able to help.

Also, thanks for the kind words Brian!

I'm a web gear nerd, so I was drawn to the bucket. Interesting to find one maker marked on the side-usually they are on the bottom.

Well if you’re interested, it’s in the “for sale” section!
