Tools, Spools, Whatever
It's a weird-looking, never-used, military-surplus tool bag. The 11-1/4" long x 6" dia green-canvas bag has a leather handle on the closed end, and a leather strap that tightens around and closes the open end, leaving an orifice on one side. Our best guess: It holds a spool of wire or cable for easy unwinding. (Second best: If your army rides on ponies, it's a potential feedbag.) As with much military surplus, a few hours in the sun will improve it.

Room For A Yorkie
Direct from the French army comes this used olive-drab rubber gas mask bag in an unusual shape and size. Measures 5" square x 11" tall, with a hook-and-loop top closure, (2) deep outside pockets, a removable shoulder strap, and a couple of D-rings on the back. Sheds water and is big enough for a large thermos or a small pooch.

Underwater Kite
Very cool absolutely useless kite-like thing consisting of a central 19" dia disc and (2) 9 ft. "tails" one emerging from each side of the central disc. The disc is actually a metal hoop. It is covered with a very light, strong non-woven fibrous material that is translucent and extremely porous, allowing water to pass right through it. The tails are made of this same material. We have been told it is some kind of drogue for a chute used with a depth charge. We are also told it was used under water. We surmise it is an underwater drogue used to deploy a detector antenna. But it may just be a toy for Merkids. We think you will find it amusing, and may wish to chop it up and use the cool fabric in your own construction. White or olive drab, our choice.

Respirator Haversacks
That's what it says inside this U.S. military surplus bag, but in non-Pentagon English it's a gas-mask pouch. It measures approx 11" tall x 8" wide x 4-1/2" deep with both snap and hook-and-loop closures, an adjustable shoulder/waist strap, a small outside pocket, and a belt loop on the back. Most are used. Most retain a bit of Eau d'Army, and could use a few hours in the fresh air. Yours will be olive drab canvas or a rubberized nylon.

White Gloves
For running white glove tests. These are closer to a cream color, and are unused UK military surplus liner gloves for N-B-C suits, but they're nicely made, and would be quite useful as emergency opera-wear if you're in white tie but left your gloves in the Bentley. The men's Lg are labeled 8 to 8-1/2, and will be either 9-1/2" or 13" long (our choice) from fingertip to end of glove. These are also very nice painters/craft gloves for folks allergic to latex. Package of (3) pairs.

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!

Scabbard
Nylon scabbards or sheaths for large knives or small swords. They are medium brown nylon with black trim, open at the top and rounded to a tapered tip at the bottom. At the top end, each has a metal belt hanger of the sort one uses to attach things to those wide webbing belts with a zillion holes. They measure 18" long x 2-1/4" wide.

German Decontamination Kit
New surplus from the other side of the Rhine. Nice dark-olive-drab plastic case, 8-1/2" x 8" x 4-1/2" with a slip-on lid on a removable canvas strap. Inside is a pair of 1-liter bottles, 7" tall x 3-1/2" square, with screw caps that have white nylon brushes on 4" long shafts inside. If you're not into military decontamination, it's ideal for traveling sign-painters.

Plush Pouch
Direct from the U.S. Army, this desert-tan nylon pouch was made to hold a 2-qt non-sloshing bladder canteen. So authentic that it probably will have the original stenciling and user's name on it. Has a plastic latch, belt clips, an adjustable and detachable 42" shoulder strap. The cushy fake-fur lining insulates it in the winter. Wet the lining for a cooling effect in hot weather. Measures 8-1/4" x 7" x 3" with a little 3" x 2-1/4" pocket on the front. (Water purification tablets?) Don't carry water? It'd make a nice, warm traveling gerbil habitat. (There's even a drain hole in the bottom.)

Artillery Takeout
The Australian Army's answer to "Hey, Mate, aim a little higher. Ya hit "B" Company!" This fuze indicator from a '70s artillery piece works like a circular slide rule and determines firing settings for 105 mm shells. It has a 15-3/4" dia aluminum plate sandwiched between (2) 14" dia plates covered with numbers and trajectories, all of which rotate inside a fixed arm. Eminently collectible, and reversible to display Charges 1, 2 and 3 (red and blue trim) or Charges 4 and 5 (orange and green)!

Find Polish Metal!
Search for zlotys on the beach, or just be the first militaria collector on your block with a USSR-era Polish army surplus mine detector. (That's a Polski armia nadwy?ka möj wykrywacz, we think.) Comes complete with (8) feet of pipe (in 2-foot sections) for getting farther from the mines, a 5-foot cord on the headphones, a log-book, a canvas carrying pouch, and a small box wrench. The downside? It's battery operated (and may even come with one or two dead ones) but not by batteries in any size we recognize, so making it operable could be a challenge.
