Fallout Shelter Sign
They're Back! Those of a certain age will remember being taught to crouch under their school desks in case of nuclear attack. Shortly thereafter, the gov't, in its infinite wisdom zoomed about thecityscape plastering black and yellow signs on buildings with basements to designate them as fallout shelters wherein it stored cans of water and radiation meters which were so insensitive that any reading could only mean the past tense of crispiness. We have a quantity of these signs, brand new in the sense that they have never been plastered, but antique in the sense that they are the Fifties originals. 10" x 14" , 25 ga. galvanized steel. They have a black base coat on the front over sprayed with orange/yellow reflective paint in the familiar design rendered nearby by our faithful artist. This is a true collector's item fetching $50 and up in antique stores! A tasteful addition to even the dullest basement hangout.

Praise The Lord And Pass This
It's "The Hymnal" for U.S. Army and Navy services, and it looks brand new to us, or perhaps only sung from by a little old PFC on Sundays. From the United States Government Printing Office, 1942 (with an A.S. Barnes & Co. 1941 copyright). In a military drab-brown hardcover, the 607 pages include prayers and services for Protestant, Catholic and Jewish troops, plus over 400 pages of hymns, with words and 2-stave music.

I Will Survive…
You will survive, too, just like Gloria Gaynor, and in the woods, even. But only if you have this U.S. Army manual, cleverly titled: SURVIVAL, Department of the Army Field Manual FM21-76. It's 287 heavily illustrated pages of techniques for staying alive (add your own BeeGee jokes here) including orientation, food & cooking, fire- and shelter-making, rafts, animal, insect and plant recognition, and much more. This is the 1970 edition, but staying alive in the woods hasn't changed a whole lot since then. In soft-cover.

Striped Warning Pennant
Made for the UK military, for aerial weapons ground crews. Maybe to say "Aim here," or maybe "Hey, don't shoot, this is us!" We're not sure, but we know it would make a good warning flag for wide or long loads. Measures 17-3/4" long x 3" wide in red, white and reflective gray stripes in nylon plastic. Has a 5/16" grommet on one end.

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. These #6 nails are 2-1/8" long. Even the box is a retro find. Such sticklers for details, these pacifistic Swiss.

Maritime Flag Fest
If you own a boat, a waterfront house, or a seafood restaurant (or maybe just like water or flags), call us quickly. We've only got a few sets of these and they're beauties. Our each is a full set of international maritime signal flags, including (26) letters and (10) numbers, plus (32) NATO signal flags. They're new and still in the box, and although they date from 1965, nobody's changed the signal flag protocol. In a reinforced cotton/linen fabric, heavily stitched with mounting ropes and buckles, the letters are approx 24" x 20" rectangles, the numbers are pennants, approx 6 feet long, 20" wide on the mounting end, tapering down to 6" wide points. They're spectacularly colorful (click on the web pix) and each flag has an individual meaning ("I require assistance," "I am dragging my anchor") as well as standing for a letter or number. Manufactured by the respected, 140-year-old Bonner Fahnenfabrik, or Bonn Flag Factory.
