      Neat! I like alcohol related military items.  I have one of the olive drab WWII beer cans which I really like...

      I was hoping to find out what this is worth and if anyone would be interested in buying it or where would be a good place to sell it?   This is a Canadian Military Remote Monitoring Radiacmeter IM-5015/TD housed in a wooden carrying case.    Function: This device is designed to detect and measure radiation levels, specifically gamma radiation.   Components: The case typically includes an indicator unit, a detector unit, and may contain specialized batteries (seven 6.7-volt and two 1.3-volt mercury cells).   Construction: The protective case is constructed from 7-layer plywood with "horsehair" padding inside to protect the delicate instruments.   Usage: These units were used for military surveillance and civil defense, particularly during the Cold War era.

      Real deal. Speaking as a longtime reenactor, that company is not a reproduced example.

      A sealed and un-drank bottle of U.S. Army issued Whiskey, that has to be the rarest thing I have ever seen posted on the forum.

      Can anyone make out what medals the guy in the front has one? This was the clearest version of the picture I could find

      Dated 1942, if I recall correctly.

      Here is what I would consider a WWII vintage AMCRAFT-made wing. You can see that the base wing is (like Marty mentioned) a "target" and not an observer badge.  You can also see the distinctive AMCRAFT type forcer that gives the badge a "pinched" look--also the hallmark.   Ive always liked the AMCRAFT patterns.        However, it seems that AHD (Dondero alpha/numeric code = D2) bought or acquired the dies and made similar wings (probably late 50s/60s). The pilot versions are rather common, but IIRC I have seen some of the other ratings with the D2 or Dondero hallmark.    Note that the back is not an exact match to the war time AMCRAFT-made badges.  I do not recall, but I believe AMCRAFT was not a company that survived into the post WWII reductions of the military and was likely out of business by the Korean war.
