Really Foul-Weather Gear
Be ready for pretty much anything in this N-B-C-rated military decontamination suit. Includes cotton under-gloves, thick rubber gloves, oversized lace-up overshoes, smock, and trouser covers in size large. The kit is made in the UK, and comes in an olive drab, Dutch-made rubberized nylon carrying pouch, approx 5" x 13-1/2" x 13", with a shoulder strap and backpack connectors. The case would double as good waterproof messenger bag.

Radiation Meter
Are the kids growing up with pride? Radiating good cheer? You can tell for sure with...What? It’s for nuclear radiation? An old Civil Defense meter? Bummer. Apparently, this OCD radiation meter from the Victoreen Mfg. Co. was made to sniff out the residue of the nuclear holocaust when you emerged from your bomb shelter. Calibrated 5 r/hr (Roentgen) with a X 0.1, X1, X10, X100 sensitivity selector, it runs on (1) “D” battery (not included.) The Civil Defense yellow boxes are about 8” x 4–1/2” x 3–1/2”. It comes with complete instructions for use. The CD V–777–2 includes two 4–1/2” long x 1/2” dia dosimeters and a 2” x 4” x 4” dosimeter charger. This one is used, but it works fine, even if it looks a bit scuffed.

No-Chuting Parachute
Our full-size, lightly used, blue-nylon parachute has a 23-foot square canopy with cut corner edges and shroud lines attached. And it's for making lovely diaphanous silky things, or turning your family room ceiling into a Turkish bazaar, or creating a unique, shade-casting pergola in your backyard, or even for playing games at camp. It's not, ever, under any circumstances, over-your-dead-body, for jumping out of airplanes. Never, ever, OK? Weighs a diaphanous 6.5 lbs, and has a nice hanging loop at the top for making those tent-like structures.

Nice Norski Liquid Jug
Brand new jug from the Norwegian military, but we know it'll be just as happy holding American liquids. It's in army-green plastic with a red, gasketed screw cap. Measures a compact 9-1/4" tall x 7-1/4" x 6-1/4" and holds a surprising (5) liters (approx 1.3 gallons). The handle on top is very slightly raised and there's a matching recess on the bottom, so they'll stack and stay stacked. Clever, those Norwegians.

Masks, Gas, Russian
Assembled in the U.S. from Russian parts, anyway. What we have here is a full range of sizes in gas masks for adults and children, although frankly, the smallest of them are really more Yorkshire-terrier sized. New, but surplus, and while they're rated NBC for nuclear/biological/chemical contaminants, they carry absolutely no guarantees. These are to be used as part of a collection, or for costume/novelty purposes. The children's masks come with a 12" long hose, filter tank, defogging pencil, and carrying pouch. The Small is for faces less than 4-1/4" between cheekbones (and less than 3" from the top of the nose to the chin). Medium is for 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" (3" to 3-3/8" top of the nose to the chin). Large, from 4-3/8" to 4-5/8" (3-3/8 to 3-5/8"). Extra large, from 4-1/2" to 4-7/8" (3-5/8" to 3-7/8"). The adult's masks come with an integrated, screw-on filter canister, carrying pouch, and (6) plastic eye-lens covers. The small ones are for adults with a facial circumference (measure around the crown of the head and under the chin) of 24-3/4" or less.

Been Through The Wars
Or at least through the woods, and more than once. These well-broken-in surplus military rucksacks are approx 20" long x 15" wide x 6", all in some shade of army OD with drawstrings and lots of leather straps and buckles. They were made to fit on frames, which apparently went AWOL on their way to us, which means there are no shoulder straps. They'd be easy enough to add, however, and that's a small price to pay for such authentic surplusity, we think.

Don't Go There!
WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! It's a congregation of annoying, white-faced, voice-challenged, hyperactive drama students trying to break out of their imaginary .... Oh. Mines? Oh. WATCH OUT! It's a minefield! Luckily we have these triangular aluminum warning signs, enameled in red, with MINES written in 1-1/2" white letters. (2) 1/4" mounting holes, 11-3/8" across the top. Buy one for your teenager's bedroom.

Belgian Army Thermos®
Authentic WWII issue from the Belgian army. The black-painted steel housing might be pretty beat up, or even dented (you know those wacky Belgians) but the insides are genuine Thermos® brand with a Pyrex® class liner that's still perfect, because Pyrex® is tough stuff, and clean, because it's glass. It's 10" tall x 4-7/8" dia with a big 3-1/2" ID mouth. Wire and wood or all wire handle, screw-on 1-7/8"-deep tin-cup top, and a big cork stopper inside. The outside has instructions in Dutch (or maybe Flemish?) and French, which add to the charm. You can relax, however, because they're just instructions on how to use a Thermos® bottle, which we're pretty sure you've already mastered.

Brass Buttons
You can tell military budgets have been cut when Russia starts selling us her uniform buttons. Our bushels of buttons are 1/2" to 1", mostly metal (brass, copper, silver), mostly Russian (with some Canadian, French, and others), all interesting and collectable. The shiny brass buttons with the stars are nice, if you don't mind a hammer and sickle. We'll pick out (10) for you, but can't promise which ones.

Go, Suisse!
Let the rest of the world outfit its armies with rockets and tanks. We prefer Switzerland, with its Swiss Army Knife and, now, its Swiss Army Horseshoe Nails. Our each is a box of (100) shiny, flat, steel nails with square beveled heads, each head imprinted with a tiny cross. The #6 nails are 2-1/8" long. The #8s are 2-7/16" long. Even the box is a retro find. Such sticklers for details, these pacifistic Swiss.
