I collect mostly militaria, of any period. But like anything with some age or history behind it.

  1. Thank you very much for that answer, it makes sense. I've got a helmet with the cross shaped crown pad myself, but I believe it is dated 1952. I soon as I can reach it (in my junk) I will post it an...
  2. You have taught me that if a helmet rim has 3 or 4 holes in it that the steel is of a lesser grade. Seeing this helmet is for home use(?) why use what appears to be top of the line materials?
  3. I remember looking into the small repair shop, aboard ship in 1970, and seeing this very same manual. Some things never change. The shop was to repair not only watches but also compasses, gyros and su...
  4. These are wood patterns for something other than metal castings, I would think. First, patterns for metal are not named as "male or female" and everything that is imprinted in these patterns would sh...
  5. I hope petey sees this because he has an extensive collection.
  6. Thank you
  7. Nice helmet. Maybe you can add a picture of the inside?
  8. Thank you again P.D.A.M. and to you also bratjdd.
  9. Maybe holding rubber stamps?
  10. I've seen bronzed baby shoes mated with bronze ashtrays. A time before tobacco awareness?
  11. TV Tommy Ivo appeared in some of the "Our Miss Brooks" shows with Eve Arden and Richard Crenna and Nick Adams.
  12. This POW camp was less than a mile from where I live now. Interesting anecdote involves from escapees from this camp climbing Cheyenne Mountain (the steepest rising mountain in the U.S., and home to ...
  13. Thanks pops52 and to you too Kevin. I think everyone has a memory of a Coleman stove in their life.
  14. Thanks for the loves petey, Kevin, and P*D*A*M* (hope you don't mind the abbreviations).
  15. Thank you PhilDavidAlexanderMorris and also Manikin for the loves.
  16. Thank you trunkman.
  17. I've seen violin makers use small planes such as this.
  18. I believe the compass on the left in the last pic is shown here http://www.usmbooks.com/wehrmacht_pionier.html
  19. This was Telly Savalas's ride in the Kojak series.
  20. I am wrong. This very well could be a original, and I apologize for my failure to recognize it.
  21. I'm with scottvez, looks iffy to me also. Most I've ever seen have ebonized handle scales.
  22. Thanks for the love Kevin.
  23. Thank you kerry10456 and Manikin for the loves.
  24. This almost looks Asian in the manner of carving. Beautiful!
  25. You have outstanding dump finds.
  26. She does look kinda familiar, could be a USO entertainer.
  27. I thought the one star reference was rather clever blunderbuss.
  28. That particular type of white seabag was used in WW2.
  29. I seen # 1 but didn't think filmnet knew what you were referring to.
  30. Thank you kerry10456 and BELLIN68 for the loves, and yes, BELLIN I'm sure in the jungles of the South Pacific this would have been a very cool hat indeed. Haha.
  31. It looks somewhat handmade by a skilled wood worker.
  32. The plane in the last picture, I think, is a L-20 / U-6 Beaver DeHavilland.
  33. The four star appears to be Gen. Mark Clark. Also known for WW2 service.
  34. I have to love this, it's where I live!
  35. Thank you mustangtony, blunderbuss2, miKKoChristmas11 and petey For the likes and loves.
  36. Thank you Vontrike.
  37. If it is truly an ancient Egyptian artifact, maybe it was to measure time, much like an hour glass?
  38. Apparently this is a Russian Cossack Sword /Sabre with attached bayonet, as described on ebay. On other sites these are said to be mostly faked by the Chinese. One person said these were never a real...
  39. Thanks trunkman! If only these items could talk.
  40. I don't doubt that it's Asian, what I should have said if it's a Chinese copy of the American design.
  41. If it is indeed Asian, I would say it's based on the M1938 Mackinaw jeep coat. http://olive-drab.com/od_soldiers_clothing_combat_ww2_mackinaw.php
  42. Knowing nothing about British flashes and just guessing, is this the Kings Royal Hussars?
  43. Remind me somewhat of Navajo sand art. Very peaceful.
  44. I think they are also called trivets.
  45. Thank you BHock45 for the love. I checked out your site and of course being of the same maker they are similar in design. I consider finding things like these, while for some are a full time hobby, f...
  46. I don't know much about this but it reminds me of a base for a tilt samovar (coffee pot).
  47. As a rule recordings are not that valuable. It depends on the artist (popularity and significance), what's been recorded, the age, the studio, the condition of the recording and the album cover, etc. ...
  48. The gentlemen in picture #2 appear to be standing in front of a Beechcraft T-42 Baron. This is from the www.armytimes.com: DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY: Many Army pilots trained in ‘honest’ T-42A Cochise ...
  49. You're right blunder, glue can and is made of things like hide, blood, fish scale, hoofs, etc. If ancients thought it would stick together they would try it I'm sure. This hammer looks really tight fo...
  50. Watched a PBS program the other night, on neanderthals, and they were saying those spear heads were secured with, I believe, cedar bark, that was laboriously sweated in a fire to get the sap to ooze o...
