You'll need this NATO gas mask, M51 model, in an olive drab canvas bag. Lightly used surplus, it includes a definitely-not-guaranteed cartridge filter. Adjustable mask is medium olive drab/brown. The cartridge screws directly into it below the nose, so it's the symmetrical, alien-look, type. Carrying bag measures approx 12" long x 5" x 5" plus shoulder strap and ring clips. Great for Halloween.

39507 M51 GAS MASK |
It's from the Chinese army, it holds ammunition and it's called a vest but it's not a vest, it's an ammo belt with shoulder straps. Belt is approx 40" long overall and can be adjusted to be shorter. Has (3) sets of (2) flapped pockets, each 6" tall x 2" wide plus a third set with (4) flapped loops and open-top pockets below to hold longer clips. Straps measure 1-1/8" wide and cross in the back. In deep OD canvas, gently used. Made in China, which is hard to argue with in this case. Be the first guy in your duck blind to have one.

Genuine U.S. military surplus athletic supporter, unused, never issued, brand new, still in the box, we swear on our mother's combat boots. This military supporter does date from approximately the Korean War era, but some things never change. Size medium, with a 3" wide waist-band.

40854 MILITARY SURPLUS G.I. JOCK STRAP |
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.

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.

30823 GENUINE COLLECTIBLE FALLOUT SHELTER SIGN |
Our full-size, lightly used, nylon parachutes in assorted colors (Mostly red to pink, our choice.) are approximately 23-foot diameter 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.

34108 PARACHUTE |
This large, olive-drab U.S. Army surplus ammo tube is made of extremely heavy plastic, 21" long x 3-1/2" dia with a twist-off cap. We think it's for carrying either an 81mm mortar round or a combat ferret. Looks like the tallest thermos bottle in the universe and has approx 17" x 3-1/4" of usable internal space and a 10" long rubberized carrying handle. Used, and could have a lot of schmutz on it, so be prepared to hose it down.

You say you need something to carry your extra Dutch Army machine-gun barrels in? Guess who's got just the ticket. Measures 27" long OA x approx 8" wide, in heavy olive-drab canvas with (2) adjustable shoulder straps and a waist strap. Buncha compartments: (2) at 3" x 2" x 17", (2) at 2" x 2" x 10, (1) at 2" x 2" x 13", and a small pouch under the fold-down, clasp-closed top. Could also carry any number of broken-down fishing rods, or all of instruments for the Harmonicats. Used, but only by a little old Dutch lady corporal to carry her barrels on Sundays.

39021 BARREL CARRIER |
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.

40926 FOLDING RUBBER FIELD SINK |
Could very well be for a gas mask, but that's just a guess, and we know not from whose military. Interesting, though, and rubberized for your protection. It's olive drab, 9-1/2" x 11" x 4", with hook-and-loop belt fasteners. The belt fasteners are oriented so that there's an 8" x 10" snap-flap pocket on the front, a fold-over closure for the bag itself on one short side with a hook-and-loop catch against the body, and a 4" x 6" pocket with hook-and-loop closure on the opposite short side. Good deal if you need to keep stuff dry. Even better after a few hours in the sun and a good spray with a fabric freshener.

39020 MYSTERY BAG |
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.
