    M1 Cartridge Belt Value?? WW1 Sewing Kit

    I went to a Harley Swap Meet Sunday and picked up a OD Green USMC Marked M1icon Garand 10 pocket 8rd clip catridge belt . It was also marked "A Reif & Co, 1955" . All the pocket snaps are marked "Klikit" over a Star with the word Pull underneath the star. It is very clean with very little wear & tear.

    Also picked up a WW1 cloth folding sewing kit with brown uniform buttons. No markings.

    Any idea of the value of these items ?

    The later OD Green Korean War-onwards cartridge belts are not as sought after as the earlier date khaki. Repros, which often fall apart after modest use, cost about $50. I should say $75-$85 for the cartridge belt. No idea about the sewing kit.

    There is a WW1 sewing kit available from Baystate Militaria for $30. WWII's go for about the same.

    My WWII housewife has "Compliments of Coca-Cola" marked on it.
