Guys,
This old shop has a U.S. WW1 Army cartridge belt and bandage pouch. The bandage in the pouch is an unopened tin, marked Bauer & Black Contract Nov 2 -1916.
And several canteens, WW1, that are the best canteens I've ever seen!
Plus a rather well worn WW1 tin-pot helmet. And a WW2 helmet with liner.
So what are they worth? I'd love to use one of those canteens for hunting (very sturdy, not like this plastic stuff now days.)
Thank,
Deaf
You'll need to give a bit more info than that. Kind of like asking...I have a car, it has four wheels, what's it worth?
:dunno: Pictures would help.
Jim, It took me a minute to stop choking due to laughter.
What are they asking?
Deaf Smith had a good question and is using the forum to ask experienced members for some help, he just wasn't specific enough for the type of response he was looking for. Deaf S members here will be glad to help but the topic can be very detailed and estimates can vary greatly depending on a lot of factors. Good photo's have been known to have experts pick out characteristics that make the item a fraud, or it may indeed be something quite valuable. Please try again if you are able. None of the members here want to give you bad advice, that's why they're careful to answer.
Well guys I haven't bought them except he cartridge belt and bandage with pouch. $60 bucks for both.
I'll see about photoing them tonight.
The other stuff is still there but I'm real sure the WW1 canteens are legit. But $45 bucks? I'm thinking of actually using one if them (the $45 one had the pouch with hanger on back.)
thanks,
Deaf
In No. Ohio the WW2 helmet in liner is going for in the area of 60 to 80 bucks. The WW1 dough boy helmet is around $75. $45 is about right for the canteens. If it's a legit WW1 cartridge belt for $60 you had better jump on it. Around here one for WW1 is in the $150 to $225 range. WW2 vintage is in the $75 to $125 range. And to think I used to get them for a half a buck.

That site isn't the greatest. It shows a 1905 bayonet and names it incorrectly and a 1912 holster calling it 1915.
Here is another site that is useful http://www.history.army.mil/html/mus...upd_Jul09).pdf
That one IS good. Hayes Otoupalik Try this one for pricing and ID too.
