Yard Sales, Flea Markets and Antique Shops 2022

[Aragorn243]

Getting an earlier start than most years. Antique shops today. Kind of slim pickings as usual but I did come across a reasonably priced M1950 US Army one burner stove today. It's a Roger's 1966 Vietnam era to go with my Rodgers 1952 Korean War era stove. They are similar being made by the same company but as you might expect, some simplification occurred between the two. The Vietnam stove is very plain with no extras, the Korean era stove has checkering around the burner and a more detailed priming knob. This one has the little parts container, the wrench and a matching year and manufacturer case for $60 which is pretty cheap for one of these.

Other pick ups were an M43 hood for an M43 jacket that I don't have and a web belt I believe is WWII but it is hard to decipher the stampings. I should probably stop buying weird things but who knows, I might find the jacket next week, or 10 years from now.
