Ronson Lighters! The famous British brand carried throughout WW2 - these examples can be as made in Britain, USA and Canada post war and are the same as the WW2 examples which were bare nickel finish or painted a hammered dark grey / black finish. The Whirlwind model is the premium version with the retractable wind shield to protect the flame. Brass No5 lighters were simpler in construction and also in production for over 70 years since just after WW1. These were bare brass for the working man / smoker and featured a three piece fusiform case for the pocket. In later years they were silver or gold (color) plated (post WW2) and could be provided by and feature script for the major cigarette brands as gifts / rewards. Foot Powder - nice NOS original 1/3/4 oz and 2oz tins - I have checked or renewed the paper seal under cap - any exiting external powder is from somewhere else / its prior life. Anti-Gas eyeshields are for stowage in the respirator bag and display - while NOS and externally like new, the contents are fragile and often too stuck together to be successfully removed. Washroll / Duck Roll - NOS and Canadian marked. War time soap - limited amounts - photos change with each lot when available. Gillette Gold Tone Razors - a luxury item started in the 1930's the war effort stopped the use of Cadmium plating for the war effort - used and cleanable in early or later boxed sets. A clean shave starts with a good soap lathering with a badger hair brush - get an NOS wood handled one as the used ones get a little skanky.. Belgian Army Jack Knives - exact copies of the WW British version - just with ABL on the main blade - Remnants of 70 years storage with cosmoline and surface rust - clean with 000 wire wool and very gentle fluids (not to dissolve those lovely bakelite scales). NOS jack knife / tool lanyards. The run around your waist to loop a tool into your BD pocket. Victory Red / White / Blue general store products - the war effort meant a restraint on the use of colors - 3 maximum for packaging. Patriot packs were changed onto most early 1940s product. razor blades and brown shoe laces (2 pair per card) feature here.
