A neat find from a B-24 Gunner with the 15th AAF. His 1930's metal Scout whistle with compass that he carried all through WW2. Lucky him, as he never had to use it! Never saw one of these before!!

A near mint January 1944 Dated Momsen Lung, as used by US Submarine crews for escape purposes. The rubber parts are still as supple as the day it was made. Has all straps, chains with clips and even the nose clamp. This would be the last one you would ever buy, as I don't think you can upgrade this one. How often do you see them come up for sale, in any condition??

Just bought another one of these kits, super condition and near mint. It is just like the other one I have listed, never been opened and has the syrettes. The only difference is that on one side of the plastic kit, it is just a little harder to read the instructions, but it looks like the inside of the plastic is slightly covered with something. Nevertheless, this is a very hard kit to find complete and in this condition.

A very nice example of a rayon survival map, as used by pilots and aircrews in case they are shot down. Marked No. 34, Southeast China and No. C-40 Luzon Island. Dated 1944 and still folded they way it was issued.

A nice ESM/1 survival mirror with a real neat case/pouch made by the American Red Cross of Palm Beach County, Florida.

A super looking survival mirror, still sealed in plastic and with canvas pouch. Don't see these too often and in this condition.

Nice compass in working condition. These type compasses were found in many different survival and life raft kits.

Made from steel and polished very smooth, the overall length is 6 5/8' long and has a 3" blade (sharp). It is also known as a frisk knife, as this type knife would be sewn into clothing, perhaps a flight jacket or coveralls, or possibly fitted into leather boots, anywhere the enemy soldiers would not detect it. Super little E/E item.

This a metal compass that can be sewn into clothing seams, collars(staves), or most anywhere to avoid detection by enemy. When needed, can be hung from a thread or floated in water to point North.

A near mint box of Type I Survival Bisquit Bread. These were is life raft kits and other survival kits.

A very nice example of the large C-1 vest knife. Has both blades, knife and saw, made by United G.R. Mich.

OD fishing line and hooks, wrapped around a carved piece of wood.

This kit is full with cans of water and food. All the cans are there, one of food cans was opened and the contents are gone. These kits were used in life boats and the larger rescue planes. When do you see these anymore?

The mirror is Mint in the box. The box has some storage wear, but is still in display condition.

In near mint condition with original rope.

A nice MK4 Flare Projector, with an added on piece of aluminum to help in the firing of the device. There is one green and one white flare to go with it. All for one money.

Here are two cans of Pemmican, which is used to make a hot soup, as found in Survival Food Kits. These two cans are bloated, but still in good shape. The brownish color on the tops and bottoms is from a chocolate powder that had broke inside the kit, it will come off. Both cans for one money.

A great source of energy when mixed with water and drank. Even better when you could heat the water. Two rolls for one money. I have several sets of two at $35 a set.

This is for the metal box only. It measures 8" by 5" by 2 3/4" and has the mounting brackets and the handle. Think of the fun in filling it with the contents.

I just found several of these mint, unopened candies and they are all dated 1940. These are some of the hardest items to find, for finishing off those Survival Kit displays. They are being sold at $75 each. Buy them when you can find them!!

I've got two brown plastic survival match safes at $20 each, or both for $35.

A great looking bakelite match safe with matches and a compass in the lid. Slightly different than others I've seen. The compass still works, but the top of the compass is hard to read.

This knife is made by "United of G.R. Mich." and is in very good shape. It has been used, but not abused and both the knife blade and the saw are both there.

I have around 16 of these CO2 cannisters for WW2 Life Vest valve assemblies. Most are still full, with several spent, my choice at $10 each.

I have two of these compasses in brass cases, they are marked with a "US" on the outside cover and are made by "Waltham". They are sold at $65 each. These are found in the F-1 Emergency Sustenace Flyers Case and other survival kits.

The canvas pouch is near mint and it has a survival mirror and two plastic flasks in it that are just waiting to be filled by YOU!!

These are two paddles from a C-2A Raft kit from WW2 into the 1950's. One side has been treated to reflect light to aid in being seen at night from search-lights. The one paddle is near mint, but the decal on the other has some wear. That paddle would be the one to turn over to show the reflective side in a display.

This is a can of ten, 10ga. green star MK.II flares for the MK-3 flare projector. The can is dated Jan. 1945.

This is a box of MK.II flares for a MK-3 flare projector. The box is dated 1943 and it contains ten white star 10ga. flares. Just what you need to complete the MK-3 flare projector set.

This kit is either complete or close to it. It has the appearence of being issued, but not used. Very nice shape, just a little dirty in spots.

A beautiful example of a bullion "Winged Boot" on blue felt for those men that were able to evade and walk out to safety. This is also known as the "Late Arrivals Club"

This is a pocket compass from a F-1 Emergency Sustenance Flyers Case. It has a small dent on the front of the case, below the "U" and just above the hinge, but that only gives it character. Great condition and it works.

This is a really neat 2 piece button that would be sewn into the top inside of trousers or used in button up flys. When taken apart, the one half sets on a pin on the other half and the three magnetized dots do their thing by pointing North & South. These could be overlooked by even the best prison camp guard. In working condition. The one pictured is sold, but I have one more, as issued on the cardboard square.

I have one small escape compass left, at $55.00. It is one of the alum. cases with white dial two alum. These could be sewn into most anywhere on a uniform or flight clothing to be retrieved when needed and I'm sure that one or two were probably swallowed to avoid detection too. All in working condition.

"The Acme Thunderer" made in England, which was the preferred whistle carried by both AAF and RAF pilots for use in locating when down in water. Either carried on their flight jacket or around the neck on a lanyard for easy access.
