recognize this? Cleaning out the house in preparation for selling it so we can move to Florida permanently, and came across it while cleaning. The quality of them were never very good, and this one is really showing it’s 55 years. And, yes, that is one of my jungle fatigue shirts that is acting as the backdrop. And, NO, it doesn’t fit anymore. LOL! I could say it’s too big, but we all would know I’m lying………..

Thank you for your service, Grump.
You’re welcome! Wouldn’t have changed a thing, since I got stationed at Ft. Devens, Massachusetts after Vietnam, and met my wife there. 53 years on that “enlistment” and counting.

Holding a roll of film. You have to have the film canister by itself ( no aluminum or plastic can ), and it slips right into the holder. There’s a loop riveted to the holder so you can attach it to the camera strap.

No, I don't remember seeing one of those before. I was only 13 years old 55 years ago. But I can figure it out.
Zippered 35mm Film Cassette leather bag, instead of a metal or plastic can. How funny. Vintage items (and the shirt) that could be collectible.

Really? Wonder if my jungle fatigues have value?
I do wish I had a nice pair of vintage jungle boots though.Jul 12, 2023 12:57:00 #

I still have mine, it sitting in my father's old Chipmunk Ceramic Change Holder about five feet away in my office.
This a reminder, of my life from 1968-69, now a distant milestone in my life.
Thanks to Him, everything since has been "Gravy", and Greatly Appreciated.
