Friends , found this today. Not quite the Carrier trouble light but definitely military . No markings of any kind but green military paint remaining . Bakelite knob at the end of the top hook.


Can someone help me identify this please ? Thanks and cheers .

Default also found today

Well , I know what this is and it is a very early ( 1940 ) 1 gal Canadian oil can by General Steel Wares GSW .

Can is in rough shape. Rust. Nice untouched and unpolished brass screw on cap. Worth the buy if only for the cap itself !

Default Nice 100 year old rifle stocks

Found these two military stocks during my part hunt today. Can't decide if they are Ross rifle or P-14 . The more I think of it , maybe Ross so exactly 100 years old ! I will take a few more picture if someone is interested in identifying this more seriously.

Definitely Ross 1905 or 1910 military rifle stock. NOS. No hardware ever mounted on these .

I think you may be right on the stocks being for the Ross. If I had to guess, perhaps the 1905 Ross. Extremely nice find.

Pretty sure the oiler you show is just the standard brass Enfield oil bottle.

Hi, Rob, thanks for your response .Here are some more views. With the "R" letter and the characteristic butt my guess is same as yours : Brand NOS Ross 1905 stocks ! Tell me what you think. Any idea what the light is ? My Guess for now is it''s a CMP trouble light never having seen one yet . Cheers.
