Army Arctic insulated canteen $45-$55. People use these while ice fishing here in NH

There are so few of them around that it is very difficult to say with any accuracy what the fair market value would be for a spent cartridge.  If I saw one for sale at a gun show with a price of $150 on it I would not be surprised.  An unfired example might be worth three times that.  The market is pretty limited being divided between cartridge collectors and S&W collectors.   Regards, Charlie   Image below credited to Ordnance.

National Museum of Nuclear Science and History 601 Eubank Blvd SE Albuquerque, NM 87123 505-245-2137 www.nuclearmuseum.org I visited this museum in March of 2026. Plan to spend 1-2 hours to view all the exhibits. The old timer that greeted us when reentering the building from the outdoor displays has some good stories to tell about his time as a mechanic on SR71s if you stop and talk to him.

There is some great stuff in that album! I have 3 Good Conduct Medals to USS Vestal survivors. Id love to know if any of them are mentioned in the scrapbook.     

I checked my reference and I also came up with a cut edge 139th Airborne Engineer Battalion oval (Photo 1 & 2).   I also found a cut edge 12th Airborne Engineer Battalion, 8th Infantry Division oval (Photo 3 & 4).    

Kathy:   Within the past year I have purchased several of the USAAF PTO fabric maps.  I have never paid more than $50 for any of them.  They are interesting historical items but, as you say, not particularly scarce and not in great demand.   Hope that helps you.   Regards, Charlie

Easter dinner cooking is done. And I only set off our new smoke detector once 😁. Just waiting for dear daughter and hubby to arrive. They are habitually late.  Soon after buying it a few years ago, I have incorporated using my 1916 mess spoon in my holidays cooking.  I hope everyone is having or had a great Easter!  mikie

Yes by both sides
