| 10-pc, Individually Boxed, WW2 #104 AC Spark Plugs, In Original Box, Sealed In Original WW2 Military Waxed Fabric | |
 |
1UE-2.A very interesting find! WW2 military, #104, AC spark plugs in their original master box of ten plugs. Each spark plug has been, individually, hand sealed and persevered, in standard WW2 military fashion, using a wax impregnated fabric, then further protected, with a thick exterior layer of olive green wax-like material and placed in its individual box, where they have remained for the past 62 years, or so, and with the ww2 military type sealing process, they may last for another 62 years without concern. The sealed plugs appear to be in perfect condition; the individual boxes are in about excellent condition, with very minor and insignificant surface scuffs to the paper surface; the master box has some lightly bumped corners and some very minor surface scuffs to the paper surface, as well. The individual boxes are marked similarly as the master box, which is marked, “AC Spark Plug Flint Michigan, U.S.A., 10mm Thread, 104, 58” Hex., 17-P-5335, (which is the federal stock #); A-311992,” as well as other informational markings. The U.S. patent numbers, listed on the box, are in the approximate issue range of 1927 to 1944. I have no idea what the spark plugs fit, however, they are definitely of a military nature and did come with a quantity of White halftrack parts we obtained many years ago. Box of Ten sparkplugs. Unused. Excellent. $35.00 |
| U.S. M1917 .30 Caliber Water Cooled Machinegun Steam Condensing Hose In Steam Condensing Hose Carrying Pouch | |
 |
1UE-3. M1917 .30 caliber, water-cooled machinegun, steam condensing hose with quick disconnect fitting. A heavy-duty, black rubber hose, which is designed to carry condensing steam back to the machinegun condensing can. The device is constructed from an approximately 6-foot long, thick, “triple wall,” black rubber hose. The thick internal hose is covered with a woven, “hemp-like,” covering; the woven cover has a thin, black rubber, exterior covering. One end of the hose is fitted with a double spring, quick-disconnect, device. The hose exhibits moderate signs of storage age and storage soil; it’s not dried, cracked or damaged, except for a 1-inch section of the outside covering that is missing where it is clamped to the quick release device. The quick release device exhibits moderate to heavy signs of age, use and soil; the leaf springs are somewhat weak, one more than the other; the brass area of the device is stamped, “Made In U.S.A.” and has a company logo design of the letter “S” within an oval. The very light olive, (khaki), woven web carrying pouch is approximately 10-1/2-inch wide x 11-inch high and has a large, scalloped closing flap with blackened brass buckle and strap closure; the blackened hardware is of WW1 U.S. design and the scalloped edge of the flap is trimmed with slightly lighter colored olive, (khaki), cotton trim. The front of the pouch is marked with large, early type, black stenciling, “Steam Condensing Device Case C39762.” The inside of the case is lightly stamped, “R.I.A.” (Rock Island Arsenal). The backside has remnants of the original brown leather strap, which has been cut off and replaces with a white cotton shoulder strap, (most likely a post-war application to make the pouch more commercially appealing.) The exterior of the pouch exhibits very light signs of age and wear, as well as moderate, (heavy in some spots), signs of soil from handling, and use. The interior is clean with very light and insignificant soil from storage of the hose. A very interesting machinegun accessory. Used. Vg. $65.00 SOLD |

| Aluminum Canteen With Flat top Cap – U.S. A.G.M. Co. 1942 | |
 |
1UE-5. Aluminum canteen stamped, “U.S. A.G.M. Co. 1942, ” with screw-on black, Bakelite cap with flat top and serrated edge; complete with original chain; no cork washer. The canteen is in excellent condition; it retains most of its original matte silver/gray finish, showing minor signs of surface scuffs and light scratches from handling, no dents. The chain has minor sign of rust and the cap shows light age. The original owner, lightly, scratched his initials on the front, back and on the top of the cap; they are mostly quite light and are not evident at first glance. The bottom of the canteen has some aluminum slag on the bottom and it came from the factory that way. Some minor signs of age on the inside of the canteen. The dark spots you see in the image are actually bright spots, where the surface finish is worn from the back of the snaps on the canteen cover. The flat top cap variation is only seen on early dated canteens and is of particular interest to collectors; this one is a really nice example. SCARCE. Excellent. $24.00 SOLD |

| Anti-Flak Goggle / Facemask | |
 |
1UE-9. Primarily issued to armored vehicle personnel but had some Army Air Force use, as well. Constructed of 1/16-inch thick steel that’s painted dark, matte, olive drab and has six thin, horizontal, slits to provide vision; the slits are narrow enough to provide some protection from flak splinters. This example has retained approximately 98% of its original paint, on the front, with one moderate area of wear to the painted surface on the slits on the right side, as well as, moderate areas of surface rust showing on the bottom edge, below each eye, (the rust is not too bad looking). The backside retains approximately 99% of its original paint; it has a thick, off-white, corduroy pad at the forehead and nose & cheekbone area; the pads are stitched onto the goggle through several small holes, in the steel, for that purpose; the pads have acquired moderate signs of soil form handling and storage. There is a simple black stretch material headband with a thin hook and D-ring attachment, sewn onto each side of the goggle. A SCARCE piece of equipment that does not often turn up. Vg. $225.00 |
| While Foraging In Our Warehouse We Uncovered Two Unopened Crates Containing 40-Pieces Of U.S. G.I. Pick Mattocks Made By Diamond Calk Company, Dated 1944 | |
 |
1UE-10. Drop forged steel head, which is 14-1/4-inches long, from its 2-1/2-inch wide chisel blade, to its pointed pick. The blade is embossed, “U.S. Diamond Calk Co. 1944;” (the markings are not entirely legible, which is a normal occurrence for this particular item). The tool retains its original WW2 OD painted finish, just as it came from the factory. The factory has put a very thin coat of paint on the heads giving them a lightly painted, watery, appearance, (all of the Diamond Calk Co. Pick Mattocks, that we handled in the past, had the same lightly painted finish). The 17-inch long tapered oak handle retains its factory OD painted finish and is stamped. “U.S.,” on one side, near the wide end. The handle can be attached to the pick by sliding it through the opening in the steel head and taping the wide end, firmly, on a hard surface. Tapping the bottom, (narrow), end of the handle will dislodge the head from the handle. The metal heads retain much of their original factory painted finish, which exhibits paint flaking, surface scuffs, scratches and nicks, as well as, some surface rust consistent with 60-years of storage, (nothing serious). The oak handles also retain approximately most of their original factory painted finish, which exhibits scuffs, scratches, nicks and wear from rubbing against the metal heads, and/or other handles during storage; there may be light to moderate chips, and or nicks, in the wood but nothing of a serious nature. Basically the unit is in, Vg+ unused condition; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. We will send out the best condition and clearest markings first. $35.00 each |
