Your little more than average history hunting channel, insulators, guns, Militaria and random stuff along the way and occasionally dumb stuff. Join me on my adventures!
The 1st box that you showed is made different than the 3rd. It's easy to tell the difference, just look at the corners. The ring is actually part of a lock system for that type of can. A 2-pronged pin was also on that ring, if you look closely there are tiny holes in the metal flap. The pin was put into those tiny holes sideways to prevent the lid from opening. I have examples of both 50 cal boxes and I always thought that the box without the sharp corners were made during WW2 and the one with the sharp edges were made after WW2 and during the Korean War. Get yourself some wire thin enough to go sideways into those holes on the metal flap and wrap one end around that ring. Keep it loose so it can still move around the ring and then you will understand the purpose of the ring. With that other part it's a lock.
I have a purple whiskey bottle just like that one. I bought two clear ones that looked very similar. I put them outside and one turned a nice purple like that one in about a year so far and the other one stayed clear. Good video! 👍💀
M40 isn’t a reissue, that’s a reproduced Finnish m40/55, which is apparent by the lack of manufacturer stamps on the inside. If it was original it would have a code, for example “ET64” The ET standing for a manufacturer (there are more than just ET) and the 64 for the shell size. Hope this helps
@@kriegius I actually got it from a military website and it’s confirmed the steel pot is original German. It was denazified but yes I know it’s a m40/55 all the markings were sanded down.
Wow! What an incredible yard pole display! You've even got sabre toothed ducks to eat anyone trying to take any!🤣🤣🤣 I would love to build a yard pole display like this. Great collection!
Well I don’t live in PA but I know old transmission lines have big and I mean BIG porcelain insulators along those, but you can find them on the very top or in the ends of the cross arms depending on what line it is. Look along tracks look at dates look at old pictures and try new places to find insulators. Some spots can be better than others. But keep him learning on history and stuff kids these days don’t know it keeps this stuff going. I’m glad to know your son like it!
