I have proven myself to be wrong and forgetful. After yesterday's purchase of the large medical chests, I spent part of the afternoon taking things out of large plastic storage bins and putting them into the new containers. I found the second of my Civil Defense helmets and it does indeed have a painted logo on it. This is the symbol of an air raid warden. So I have found ONE helmet in all my years of looking. Still has the price tag on it, $20 at a yard sale.
I had this bright idea of inventorying the chests as I loaded them but ended up not doing so. I found all sorts of things I forgot I had. A lot of canteens, three of the small ovens, most of my Britishgear. Inventory will have to wait until I get things better organized. These containers are great but they will be impossible to move. I had a difficult time filling the upper half and getting them stacked.
