I can’t believe my timing today, yes it all came from yard sailing.    

Extremely cool knives by EDMF! Would love to get one or two like these in my collection. Have my eye open for EDMF M7 and M9 grips but haven't seen anything pop up. Saw one EDMF M9 bayonet with a Phrobis blade which sold for around $1000 a little while back.   If you don't mind me asking, what do the markings on the handle/grip say?

Thank you for taking the time to share this information, I will pass it on to the present owner.

I AM GREEN WITH ENVY!!!!  What a wonderful collection.  Anything for sale that I can grab for my small collection?   Saltue: Allen

This took me over 20 years to collect it started out with a US issued Elgin Pershing trench watch.

The safety pin style catch indicates a later than 1920’s model - badges in the 20’s still used the open “C” catch.

The carrier is 1960s. So 40s, 50s and 60s in one set. The WW2 canteens were commonly used the early Vietnam War. 

I picked up this canteen set today at a garage sale. I am not very familiar with the gear side of stuff so I am not exactly sure what I have here.    The canteen is says U.S. Vollrath 1944 on the bottom    The cup says U.S. S.S MFG DIV 1953   and I can't make out what it says on the cover

I would recommend looking up Winterline Museum at Venafro.  He gives private tours and will. be able to cater to your wishes.  Staying in Venafro is off the beaten path and a treat in itself.  The terrain and area is beautiful now, but I can only imagine what it was like back then.
