CMP first aid kit...Rare as hen's teeth
 

What happened to all of these? Thank you Doug for the good pics. Cheers Rob

Oh yes, I could use a half dozen of these.

Hi Rob,

My guess is that since they don't look very military (unlike the 12 and 24 unit US ones), they have passed many of us by!

Thanks for posting and also to Doug for the pics!

(On a side note, does anyone know if this is just a Canadian kit or the same as the Australian trucks?).

Cheers,
Ian.

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't familiar with these. I'll keep my eyes peeled when I'm out and about and let you know if I find anything.

Hi Greg,

Well I guess that might answer that one then!

Stevens Company....
 

a Canadian company still in existence, I Facebooked the Ebay link to the historical part of their web page and I got a "LIKE" friom someone at their office. No reference to their connection to Canadian military history on that page.

I Emailed the seller of the EBay kit last night as to the size of the metal tin. His reply was 11cm long, 9cm wide and 6cm high. Very compact for a first aid box.

Found the kit bag in Winnipeg this week!
 

Cool!
Now for the "Stevens" tin. Cheers Rob

Found a couple of more pics in a recent auction.
 

I need one of these Stevens box's, missed out on this one. Darn! South Africa auction. Cheers Rob

Just had this kit arrive. I'm very happy with it. Interestingly the tin is slightly more of a yellow colour then the other ones seen.

very nice...
 

been after that tin for quite a while.

I found the tin this spring at a flea market but was empty. Nice to see what some of the contents look like in case I come across any of it!

My Mum had one of those Elastoplast tins in her sewing kit for years when I was growing up.
