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.

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.

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.

The British Are Coming
From our friends at the Naval Training Equipment Center come these 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” black-on-white flash cards of U.S. and foreign ships and planes. The 2-deck set has (55) cards for ships and (55) for planes and copters. (The cards are from 1983, so those that are no longer current, are now collectible!) Each aircraft card shows silhouettes from different perspectives, with the wing and fuselage markings as well as info on size, speed and range. Each ship card shows the silhouette and a diagram of the weapons placement, and lists the countries, class, length and displacement for that ship. Interesting. Informative. Very cool looking, whether you’re interested in arms or in art!

Military Safety Goggles
Standard M44-stye, in tan rubber with snap-in clear and tinted plastic lenses, a 1/2" thick foam face-gasket for a comfortable fit, an adjustable tan elastic strap, and air vents. They're shaped like aviator-style eyeglasses, so you can't wear them over your specs. Attn: skiers and snowboarders.

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.

Great Escape Goggles
OK, maybe Steve McQueen wasn't wearing these when he crashed, but he should have been. Now you can own a pair of authentic German military-surplus motorcycle goggles for under a sawbuck. Approx 8" wide and vented, with clear-plastic lenses, a removable amber sunshade strip at the top, an adjustable elastic strap, and foam padding. Might have minimal scuffing, but that's all part of the authenticity. Even with 'em, it would be better to stay away from barbed wire fences.
