I found this in a local shop today. I'm pretty sure I've seen one similar in Arisakadog's collection, so I bought it.

Nice find, they do not show up often.

Speaking of Adogs,
where is he? Vacation?

Hello albacore:
Yes you lucked out, that is a calvary pouch oiler bottle, they can be either metal or bakelite. I am not sure if the very earliest may have been brass, most are steel and late ones plastic, but then again the repros are plastic also.

Hello Don :
Rest assured that Adogs checked out and took the elevator down to Memphis. )
This is finally fun being able to answer questions and shoot the breeze, thanks for your help.

What's in Memphis ?

 

[albacore]

Thanks for the quick replies. i picked it up for $5. The guy also had a nice Howa Jyuko bayonet for $80 that was tempting.

Oh my, you 'stole' it for $5; want to double your money?

Really nice find.

Oilers aren't really my thing so it may make an appearence on the trader.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it will end up for sale eventually considering my school books just cost me $330. That's all used and all paperback as well. What a rip off.
