What I got so far. Japanese flag,pics,fan and relegious item,China,Japan and Occupation bank notes,paper items,W.W.1 medal,named Good Conduct medal,Navy bag,patches. Rich A. in Pa.

 

Rich, where is this all coming from?

 

This was from the Leesport Farmers Market. From one vendor. Rich A. in Pa.

 

Seriously!

You are one lucky dog...That's about 10 minutes away from me and every time I went there, the only items I saw that were World War II...were books, and ones I already had at that.

But, I will admit that it has been awhile since I have been able to go up there, as I have been working when they are open.

 

Tako,Thanks. Do you go to the sunday one?
What I got so far.G.I. Joe cards,COF 41 scabbard and Aeronautic 1st. Aid Kit. Rich A. in Pa.

 

Nice unusual kit Rich, congratulations.

 

Usually, I went to the Wednesday one. Sundays I am usually at work by 5AM, don't get off Sundays very often.

 

Skipper,Thanks. To bad it does not have all of the stuff inside.
Takao, When I worked sundays it was at double time rate. Anything over 40 was time and a half. Rich A. in Pa.

 

My 'new' 1944 Elgin A-11 with NOS Guss canvas strap. Special thanks to formerjughead for giving me this piece so I could bring it back to life.

 

Great item and good to see you brought it back to life. Jug is quite a fine fellow indeed!

 

Glad it worked out for you...Just paying it back

 

Thanks Skip. You said it... Jug's a great guy.

 

Beautiful piece

 

Nice watch. Rich A. in Pa.

 

I'm not sure about these, they look like skids to fix on wheels to make a vehicle go over a layer of high snow! They might be for a hand cart, but they might also be civilian!

 

DUI of the 687th Field Artillery Battalion.




Another DUI of the 319th Infantry.




A pair of Officer's crossed rifles of the 317th infantry and a 80th Division patch, that have come together.

 

US Army map of Saarlautern (known today as Saarlouis), with all the Westwall defenses and pillboxes marked in red.

 

That looks like a 1943-46 ish map.... Judging by the G.S,G.S (Geological Section,General Staff), Precursor/ incumbent/ affiliate of the Inter Service Topographic Department (ISTD)who mass produced Geologic Survey maps updated with Aerial Photography.....Very neat indeed Sir!!!

Maybe Skipper will show some of his German Wall Paper maps....

 

My father (607th TD Bn) was in the Saarlautern vicinity attached to the 95th ID Dec, 44-Jan 45. It looks like the scale of this map is larger (?) than the overlays in this "Battle Situations and Experiences" document at this link; http://tankdestroyer.net/images/stories/ArticlePDFs/607th_TD_Battle_Situations_and_Experiences_Opt.pdf
but you may be able to find the general locations. There are 6 overlays and 2 typical pillbox layout drawings.

 

It's certainly pre 1945 as it bears the German occupation names. Great condition too.
