Designed to stand up to the infamous Helsinki Miasma, this gas mask hails from the Finnish military (it's the standard NATO M61 model, circa 1994) but these days it should only be considered a collectible. Don't depend on it for self-preservation. In gray rubber with the filter on the side and adjustable straps, it measures approx 8" tall x 5-1/2" wide.

Slightly larger than a cigarette pack at 4-3/8" x 2-5/8" x 1-1/2", our brown-and-olive Swedish army flashlight has an incandescent bulb behind a clever 1-1/2" dia lens that can be left clear or covered with slide-up red, green or opaque lenses. The opaque one has a tiny slanted slot to emit only a little map-reading illumination. Mounts either on a belt or via a pair of slotted holes to fit over buttons. You supply (2) "C" cell batteries, but you get a spare bulb inside.

It's a G.I. canteen, except in this case the G. that issued the canteen was in Paris, so you're allowed to carry wine in it. Lightly used, made of aluminum in the same kidney-shape profile as the U.S. Army's pre-plastic version, but in a longer, 45 oz capacity instead of one quart. Same screw cap on a chain, slides into a similar integrated cup with fold-out handles which in turn fits into a 2-snap olive-drab pouch with a belt strap/pistol-belt hook. Measures 9" tall x 5" wide x approx 3" front to back.

This is actually called a rubber sink by the U.S. gummint, made for army field use, and it really is very useful. The olive-drab rubber, 9" dia x 4-1/2" deep, holds approx (1) gallon when full, but folds up completely. It's just a touch small to call a sink, we think, but it's a perfect portable dog waterer. (Also a large, very unattractive rain hat.) Complete with a tab to hang it from.

Assembled in the U.S. from Russian parts, anyway. What we have here is a gas mask for 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. These adult masks come with an integrated, screw-on filter canister, carrying pouch, and (6) plastic eye-lens covers. The medium ones are for adults with a facial circumference (measure around the crown of the head and under the chin) between 25” and 25-3/4”.

What every well-dressed WWII-era American Civil Defense worker was wearing. In a lightly speckled cream/tan color, the steel helmet is a 13" x 11" oval around the rim with a 9" x 7-1/2" ID, adjustable canvas straps inside it, and a chin strap. Sits approx 6" tall on the head. Yours might even have a few authentic Civil Defense rust spots at no extra charge.

This emergency beacon is retired from the West German army where it was one of the breakdown lights carried by army trucks in convoy, but if you buy it (5) standard D-Cell batteries it will go right back to work. The pivoting lens switches between steady-on white, off, and flashing amber modes. Stands just under 8" tall, with a 4-3/8" dia, 10-sided, orange-and-white plastic body, and a rubber base. Also has (2) 3/8" dia pegs to which you could attach a strap if you made one.

Put out Belgian fires authentically with one of these genuine fire-brigade buckets from Belgium, dating from the middle of the 20th century. All of them are heavy steel, painted fire-engine rouge, and bear the scars and dents of having attended a few incendies. We'll pick one from 11" to 14" tall (they all hold a couple of gallons). Some may have dates stamped into them, all of them are as authentic as you can get!

Own a large coil of World War II-era tent rope. We know it's real army surplus from the military warehouse aura that surrounds it. This is genuine 1/8" dia hemp rope manufactured for the U.S. Army by the Burnham Co., of Gloucester, Mass. You'll get approx 400 feet of it.

Commemorate D-Day the next time June 6th rolls around by adding these British army barbed-wire cutters to your WWII memorabilia. Wire cutters have come a long way since Operation Overlord, but these black-painted steel snips, military surplus from the Brits, give you a real feel for the landings on Sword, Juno and Gold beaches. Black-painted steel, 10-3/4" long folded but with extension arms that unfold to 15", they boast, among other things, reinforced jaws, a ring for hanging them from a pistol belt, and plenty of honest wear.

Make a mess of minestrone and serve it up in style with one of these Italian military-surplus steel kitchen ladles. We'll pick either a 7-1/8" dia or 5-3/4" dia ladle with a wooden handle a bit over (2) feet long. Equally good for firehouse chili or, if you're creative and live with an arthritic hound, for attaching to the garage wall so the dog can drink from it without bending his neck.
