Another good day at the flea market
First visit this year to a favorite flea market in the country coming back from camping this weekend paid off in coming across the rare STEVENS FIRST AID tin that were in the CMP trucks. It was the first item I spotted when I walked into the place. Very happy to find one finally as I have had the canvas pouch for it and now have the tin! I of course found other items of interest for my collection there but the tin was the highlight of the day! Another good find was a Corbin padlock with key for $2.00 and an interesting bike patch kit tin. Not sure of the era the tin is from but interesting.
Regards,Derk

Oh yeah;
I also added 3 more lightbars to the collection from the last trip out to our favorite military surplus store a few weeks back. The wife was very happy to see more show up!

Derk.
In the late 1950's, my parents bought me a three speed bicycle from Eatons. The 'house brand name' of the T. Eaton Company line of bicycles was 'Glider' and they were made by Raleigh Cycle of England. Fitted to the back of the saddle by two small leather straps was a tan leather tool kit containing a set of spanners and a patch kit tin bearing that general shape and name. Not sure the colour scheme was the same but I recognize the two instruction blocks on either side of the lid. So those tins were definitely around in the 1950's and probably go back some time before then. Thanks for the memories! David

Another good day yesterday........
at the antique flea market at Assiniboia downs. First find was an average 37 Pattern Canteen & carrier,not a big deal but was $15.00 so offered $10.00 and got it. The second find was way more exciting, on a shelf was sitting an original Mk 1 universal carrier Bren Magazine loading tool stowage box! I had to make one from scratch when I did my carrier so was very happy to find an original one. It was a little expensive at $30.00 so I held my poker face and offered $25.00 (yes i'm cheap!) and he accepted so a great day! Now I have to wait for the weather to start warming up here so I can get it painted and mounted onto the carrier.
Regards,Derk

Very nice find....but wait; that is a military item and you are cured of the need for those. Send it to me and I will happily re-imburse you in the name of not tempting you back into the addiction.
You lucky bugger....
