This item is an authentic World War II British civilian gas mask tin, devoid of its original contents. Historically significant, the tin once housed a gas mask, an essential part of survival gear during the war, when the threat of gas attacks was a constant fear. The tin is uniquely distinguishable due to a name etched onto its surface, a common practice among civilians for easy identification. With apparent signs of ageing and use, it offers a tangible connection to the hardships faced by ordinary citizens during the tumultuous war years. Today, it serves as a collectible relic of the past, offering a fascinating insight into the wartime experience of British civilians. This piece is perfect for historians, collectors, or anyone interested in WW2 memorabilia. Please note, the tin is sold empty, without the gas mask.
