Part 2 of a 3 part series detailing the contents of a G.I.'s foot locker during basic training. This episode continues to focus on the contents of the upper tray.
This is so niche, I love it. I'm putting together an anachronistic footlocker for a project, and being able to just look stuff like this up for guidance and inspiration is ungodly convenient, The kind of stuff that just isn't written in history books
Hey JonBoy, I will definitely do a video of me shooting the 1911a1 and I am really excited about it. Thanks for the comments...the MHS is my little joke. When I started doing public displays people said I should name my collection something to make it look professional and allow me to create signs and business cards. I used MHS with many people reading in to it (aka military history society etc.) when in fact it is my wife's daughter's and my first initial.
Thanks Dominic...It has been fun pulling everything together and just when I think I am done, something else comes along! That's why I love this hobby!
Mighty great and very informative video. Last month for $30 I bought a Shwayder Bros. Inc.1942 footlocker (just like the one in your other video). After searching around the Dallas area, I know now how hard it will be to find items like you have collected for your footlocker project. I commend you on giving me ideas on what to look for. Many thanks for the education.
Hey thanks for the comment William...I found it was one of those things that started with a foot locker and then quickly turned into an obsession (as these things often do). I also found that the items I was looking for were rather in-expensive and were not highly sought after by other collectors. Whenever my friends and I would go antiquing etc. they were always looking for the big flashy items and would usually walk away with nothing. I would look for the "smalls" for my foot locker, etc. and would walk away with really cool purchases!
