I have two of these kits available. The upper kit has it's original box from the manufacturer, "Military Kit by Belding - Corticelli" it is full, made of a leatherette material and near mint condition, priced at $45. The lower kit is a hard canvas kit with all of it's contents and in near mint condition. It is priced at $35.
Have two Pick-Mattock sets for sale at $65 each. A 1943 Pick by "American Fork & Hoe" with a 1944 carrier by "Victory Canvas" and a 1944 Pick by "Diamond Calk Horseshoe Co." with a 1944 carrier by "E.A. Brown MFG. Co.". Both are great looking sets. First three pics are the 1943 Pick set, the 1944 set is the last picture.
Here is a 1944 dated Pack Board in mint, unissued condition, that was being reissued for use in Vietnam, as too the 1975 shipping box it came in. It has the extra cargo tying rope, metal attachment and original directions sheet still stappled to the frame. It is made by, "American Seating Co., Grand Rapids, Mich." and is dated January 8, 1944. The shipping box is also in near mint condition. Neat find!!
Mountain troop, ridged frame rucksack, by "Avery", dated 1943. It also has the "Avery 1943" winter white camouflage cover with it and has the ID (D1555) marked on the rucksack. Research concludes this belonged to John J. Duffy, 32011555, HQ 2nd Bat., 86th Inf. 10th Mountain Division and the paperwork is included with the rucksack.
Made by "Pond's Extract Co., Clinton, Conn. Have four of these full metal tubes of paint sticks, plus I have two original, "Fact and How To Use Sheets" that were packed into each case of the tubes. The tubes are $15 each and the paperwork is $10, you may take two tubes and a paper for $35. Once their gone, they're gone.
