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.

How's Yer Howitzer?
Need a place to keep the ammo? We're here to help. Try our 8" dia X 27-1/2" tall OA military-surplus steel howitzer-shell storage canister. Has a twist-lock, rubber-gasketed lid, so it's watertight. Might have a touch of light rust on the olive-drab exterior, and will certainly have copious stenciling: "15MM HOW. M1, M1A1, M45, M126 PROPELLANT EXPLOSIVE. SOLID-CLASS B…." Usable inside dimensions are 6-1/2" dia x 25", which means it's a perfect portable Champagne bucket or standing ashtray. If you don't mind that it weighs 15 pounds.

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.

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.

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.

Suction Cup Of The Gods
It's the world's largest rubber suction cup, made for the military for (honest) plugging holes in ships until the guys with the welding torches can take over. In 3/8" thick yellow rubber, it's 24" dia x 5" tall at the center, with a molded bracket at the top. They've got some schmutz on 'em, so a soapy brush is in order, but clean them up and you've got very wind-proof garbage can lids; perfect boat bumpers; gym-floor tie-downs; plugs for 23" drains; the biggest dent-pullers in the universe; a puncture repair kit for your yacht; or the makings of a serious practical joke.

Let Alice Carry It
It's what she's good at. Our ALICE pack (All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) is a heavy-duty, forest-camo nylon backpack with (3) 7" x 3-1/2" outer pockets, (1) inner pocket, a drawstring top, and removable shoulder straps. It is 14" x 14" x 5" overall with lots of places to clip accessories and little plastic name/address holder in case your scout is so camouflaged he gets lost.

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.

Cold War Faltende Schaufel
Or whatever the 1960s German army called their folding shovel while we were calling ours an entrenching tool. This German military-surplus version is remarkably similar to ours, except that it uses a push-in, spring-loaded bolt to open and lock. The olive drab blade is 7-3/4" x 5-1/2" on a 7-3/4" long x 1-1/4" dia unpainted wooden handle. Also has a 4" long, fold-out pick, and locks straight open or at a 90° angle. Comes in a leather sheath with belt loops. Used, so you know it works.

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.

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.
