The Shell Dressing is discoloured with some rusty spots. The Absorbent Lint is torn at base edge exposing the dressing, a couple of other tears evident. Some stains. The First Field Dressing is wrapped in its original plastic which is coming undone at one end. Some stains and marks. Very interesting World War II era items. 2. Good. Looks like this was meant to come with a tripod as well, which is not with this item. There is also a dial missing to the front left. Some wear through the plating to the metal parts. Some other scratches and minor marks. 3. Cloth fold out item has over evens at top, 7 3 to 1 7 in middle and under even at bottom. Apparently for Craps during the war years. This is stained, has folds and smells a tad musty. Where it is folded the backing has worn through in places. There are also a couple of improvised two-up spats thrown in for good measure. These are basically just two pieces of masonite board that have been cut down for use playing two-up during the war years. 4. Very Good. Works well! Still has the chain. Has the number 8 on one side. Some discolouration. Some scratches and minor marks. 5. Good. The lid and base are brass, the side is made of copper. Lid has a scene of Gouda in the Netherlands. Base has a shield of some sort. Some dints. Split to bottom edge is from when it was made. Scratches. Split to outer lid opposite the hinge. Very interesting piece. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
