      I find this topic pretty interesting so just keeping the site alive with something I saw recently. This little lot recently sold on Shop Goodwill. Neither of the medals have inscriptions on the back.

      I picked up the jacket today. It looks like those tapes have been on that jacket for a looooong  time. Of course it's covered in white paint flecks. Any secrets to getting the paint off?

      Nice big windy lighter!  Can't tell the year of the zippo, but these are bringing decent money.

      I've seen body bags for sale. One time in the bedding section of a trift store.

      The latest possible nugget hunt item. Saw this military item in a lot of lighters offered on a FB Mkt posting. Not sure if there is enough "meat" to go after it and make it profitable.

      Now I found him in the swedish records   Seaman Johan Bernhard Jönsson   Swedish enrollment number: 248 15/93 which I think indicates that he did his mandatory military service in Sweden 1893, the same year his sister Gerda Botilda emigrated from Sweden to USA. He then served at USS Texas, returning back to Sweden 1901 to get married. 1916-03-31 he was discharged from the swedish Navy at Hälsingborgs Sjömanshus. He died the 12th of August 1923 at Helsingborgs lasarett from a herniated ulcer. He was buried 1923-03-17 in Allerum.

      . Hello old Dude,   Welcome and thanks for lurking and thanks for posting, it's been a tradition here that people ' lurk ' for a while and then post something which takes us off in another direction or encourages further discussion about the subject posted.    I have shown my variation before of the Jeep you have, I have seen various variations of the model, perhaps the manufacturer ' Diamond Mfg Company ' allowed some lee-way in the construction, possibly these were put together from whatever scraps of material they could gather together in a devastated post war Europe, however the canvas roof and support wires seem very similar.  Note mine doesn't have a steering wheel. Have you looked underneath for a stamping similar to mine.              Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 27 April  2O26.   ..

      Here is one located within a lot of lighters I saw on a FB Mkt listing. Is this a VN era unit lighter or later?
