WWII Metal Field Belt Canister, Medic, Rations, Rifle Gear One Owner

WW II Artifact: Metal Field Belt Canister. I have seen this represented as a field container for Army Medic Supplies, Rifle Cleaning Gear, Cigarettes, even Rations, etc.  Most likely was used for emergency medical issues. Drab Green, Hinged Top, Snap Closure, attaches to belt, stands on own with closure. About 4" X 4" and 1" Thick. Excellent condition, scant rust, no egregious dings. From the estate of a WW II vet, one owner. 

BEYOND USEFUL

WAR AND PEACE: LET'S TAKE OVER THE WORLD

AND LET'S DROP A BOMB


Let's face it: the 30's came in with a whimper and went out (by way of the 40's) with quite a bang.  And thus the Boomers were upon the Earth. The number of births in the US nearly doubled during this time and I am one of them who popped out at the very beginning of that Boom.


 Naturally, this period is my collecting sweet spot and I want almost everything I see from those times!!!  It doesn't matter if it is curated in a vintage shop's window or a crammed into a trashcan, I want it: everything leading into the Mid-Century is a Rosebud to me. 


Interestingly, my relatives laughingly blamed Dr. Spock and his 1942 "Baby Book" for all that came next.... Little did they know that he would end up an active anti-war personality and was actually tried, convicted, and sentenced to federal prison for conspiracy issues! But, I digress....
