You could see what sort of deal/price reduction you might be able to get out of the antique shop.

The first 4 pics show the box with the joints of the new wood sanded down. The last 2 pics show wood plugs glued into the unwanted holes in the ends.

As an aside this wooden box was superseded by...

I'm not sure on that. I believe that many stores numbers may have changed in the post war period? Im not sure if Peter is able to shed any light on that question, please?

Don't forget to pack your flak jacket and kevlar helmet.

If you're planning a visit to Tehran as well while you're in that part of the world you probably want, for self preservation reasons, a...

I purchased this headphone storage box on eBay not realising that the bottom 2 1/2" had been removed meaning that it wasn't tall enough to store headphones in. After reaching a settlement with the...

The first 2 pics are of original Civil Defence Corps recruitment posters dating to the 1950's or early 60's. The middle pic was taken in May 1966 at the army school of Civil Defence, Devizes, when...

The following photos were taken on Civil Defence Corps training courses during the 1960's. As far as I am aware these photos have not been seen online before.

The country house is Danbury Park...

Thanks GeeRam, how interesting.

A better pic of the AJS and also one of my father's first motorbike, a BSA Bantam.

I'm not entirely sure about the goggles. The RAF did use goggles that looked similar, with flat lenses, prior to WW2 into the early part of the war until they started using MK 7 goggles with angled...

Sort of similar to the post WW2 British machete with regards the blade.

Not long after WW2, in the late 1940's, my father wanted a jacket and some goggles to wear while riding his motorcycle, a 1946 350cc OHV AJS. The place to go then, especially if you had a limited...

Do you use the term "respirator" in the US for a mask that is attached to one's face and has filters to clean the air before it is breathed?

It is amazing how many people use a thin "dust mask" in...

Yer but, there must be ways of removing the set concrete from the said tank. You could "attack it" with a "jack hammer" which may require a fair amount of physical effort or you could "explore" less...

The first 2 pics were likely taken late 1939 or early 1940 and the last pic around a year or so later. I do still have the teepee seen in the last pic albeit with a few moth holes and I do intend to...

It's interesting but there are only a limited number of things that can be said about it. Obviously in this instance the ground and environmental conditions appear to have been favourable resulting...

The toy helmets were available in the UK in the time frame of the late 1930's to around 1940 or so. What I don't know is if any were UK manufactured or if they were all US produced.

Can anyone think of a "plausible excuse" to explain the appearance of one of these on one's property to one's wife?

Perhaps you should consider using this site without this software and seeing if makes any difference?

Thanks for the relies chaps. One of the other items that my father purchased post WW2 from the surplus store was a daylight signalling lamp, just the lamp part. This was also used as an auxiliary...

One of the many items that my late father purchased from the local government surplus store, in the late 1940's or 1950's was this British military vehicle headlamp, L-WD-H1-R. As I understand it...

I would think that the issue has to be at your end.

Clearing your browsing history regularly may help but I expect you've tried that already.

Butler manufactured a range of lights post WW2 for British military vehicles including these side/marker lights which are new old stock. I picked this pair up in the 1980's, still with remains of...

With the wartime dispersal maker code of M634.

When metal is being machined cutting tools can move in their collet or tool holder or the workpiece can move a fraction, unintentionally, on the machine bed, in the vice or jig. Alternatively the...
