Todays Car Boot Purchases...:)

[Norrie]

First proper ( decent weather) car boot of the year for me today...picked up a couple of decent things too.

 

1..After being told by my mate Paul, a WW1 Private Purchase Officers Valice, named to a Capt G B Hill, of the 4th B York and Lancs Regt, and in great condition. Inside the valice  is ( as I was told) a hand tool for plaiting a horses mane or tail, also in superb condition..anyone any idea how I would find out some info on the officer that owned it..I have tried, but to no avail...TIA.

2..A pair of 1941 stamped British army  issue snow shoes....the front used to have a "ski" of sorts but these have been removed many years ago, probs by the original owner...am trying to find out who actually made these...they are stamped P&S ltd 1941, with the Crows foot stamp too..:)

 

Got a few other more modern things too today at the same boot sale, but these are the two star items I bought...:)

Tell you what Norrie,

You deserve a special award for finding these great items, that we never usually see on MCN......I hope an MCN badge from the boss is on it's way to you???

Best to you....Desert Rat/ Ian
