Shiny Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi All, I'm looking for some help identifing this box I was given last night. I was told it was a gasmask box but it seems a bit small to me for that. Can anyone help ? Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSAMIKE Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Looks like a instrument box that could have been converted to a children's size gasmask box..... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I was going to say 'childrens' gas mask box'. Some actually came in Mickey Mouse boxes, to make them less scary, but those are in the 'hen's teeth' category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The AM is for Air Ministry making it airforce issue originally, and the child size issued gasmasks were small and came in a weak cardboard box with a string "strap". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks quite solidly built to have been something else originally and the stamp does look quite neatly positioned. Would the Air Ministry have been involved in issuing children's gas masks?

Michael Sorry, I meant the box was air force not that it was for a gas mask of any type, I do not specialise in either field, gas masks or air force items.
