DocRick Posted March 8, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 8, 2010 Could be from a ship or a shore station. Hangs on a wall, I mean bulkhead, by the tabs on the back. The Meclinzine packets are from the 50's or 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival Posted March 19, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 19, 2010 That is actually a Korean War era Life Raft First Aid Kit. The original lettering has been painted over. I think its missing a couple items. They originally had Dramamine tablets rather then the Meclizine tablets in yours. Just from memory they had a couple boxes of Petrolatum, Triangular bandages, The gauze rolls, A couple boxes of Dramamine. One or two other items I don't recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival Posted March 19, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 19, 2010 $30.00 is a reasonable price.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted March 19, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 19, 2010 I heard these were also for use in WWII USN Submarines here's one I found at a swap meet for $5 the medical supplies inside have a March 18 1924 patent date , so I would guess used during WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contents are all out of a pre WW2 probably commercial first aid kits. I have seen a few of the metal cases with their original shipping boxes which had Korean War era part numbers. Also somewhere I have an early 50's USN manual that has an illustration of this kit. There may be a possibility the kits were used late WW2. I really doubt it thought.
