WW2 Canadian Navy RCN Housewife With Contents Named

This collection is an exceptional and genuine artifact from the World War II era, featuring a Canadian Navy RCN (Royal Canadian Navy) Housewife kit with contents. The term “Housewife” was used by the military to describe a compact sewing kit, essential for soldiers, sailors, and airmen for mending uniforms in the field. This particular kit is even more unique as it bears a name, signifying it was owned and used by a specific serviceman. The contents include various sewing essentials like needles, thread, buttons, and thimble, all stored neatly in a foldable, sturdy canvas roll. This piece offers a tangible connection to Canada’s military past, a poignant reminder of the personal, everyday aspects of war service. It’s a must-have for collectors interested in WW2 memorabilia or Canadian military history.
