Just out of interest, the wifes badges... I love her in her riding pants... but she wont wear them around the house

I am going WW1 equipement crazy although I did not want any initially, just documents... How many kinds of these are there?

I just picked one up today, is is made in 1943, but has what I think are israeli stamps on it. along the top there are 4 thin grooves that run in the wood on each side... the other does not have it... anyone know what they are thee for? A different model? The non grooved one has "DP" stamped on it. (for Drill Purposes)

Just bought this for grandaddys pocket watch, it hangs over the round part of thestand. Next to it an inkwell, written on the bottom it says from the prop of a plane that crashed in 1918

I think it is, but am not sure..

Hi, this has no date on it but initials and a regt number scratched on it... Any idea if it is WW1?

Hi, WW2 South African. When i was akid they were all over the place. I found this one about 3 years ago at a flea market in Cape Town. Filled with junk modern badges. I asked "How much" and she gave a ridiculous price (for the badges)... I told here they were way out of my price range ...maybe I could just take the tin ;-)

Anyone have any of these?

Not a lot of paint left on this one... i think i am going to make these a sub collection...

an interesting period sand coloured one

The summer and winter collection ;-)

Just got a second one today...

I think I am going to make some coffee.......

The 1917 stamp

The unstamped one has no little pouring spout...

Picked up 2 aluminum ones for a song today... One is from the "Wuertt.Met.Fabr.1914" the other one without a stamp but with "P.P. 6/65" scratched into it, I dont know if it was 65th arty or inf. The other is a mint 1917 one.

I know there are similar chocolate/candy/sweet tins for WW1, WW2 and the Boer war.... Anyone have any others?

I was leaning that way as well. I guess more that way than a regular troop officer. best chris
