Wartime lamp for the home during blackout. It has a tiny bulb anyway but it is heavily shielded by a long bakelite cover.

The lamp is unused and complete with its original box. There is a tiny Osram card label fitted round the bulb base.

To have survived this well, it must be ex-shop stock.

Excellent condition, no problems.

Preservation of foodstuffs assumed high importantance in WW2. Here we have a home front canning machine. It is complete with instructions, they are quite scruffy but all there and 2 cans as well.

Heavy item, I will send as cheaply as possible but its not really suitable for overseas customers.

Photo to be added on September 8th.

Fictional account of the Sedgebury Wallop platoon. Publ. Sept 1943, hb, dj, 136 pages. I have put a clear plastic cover around the dj, it protects it but isn’t stuck to it so you can remove if so desired.

Pop was a Daily Sketch cartoon. Here is the annual, its undated but definitely wartime published; everyone is in FS caps so its earlier in the war rather than later.

Pages aren't numbered but looks to be about 100.

Softback, excellent condition.

This is the early issue with the padded liner, by VERO and dated 1938. The date is clear but I couldn't get a good picture last night.

Helmet has some rust as you can see. The inner shell is green so this was originally a military example which was used by the ARP, you will often see this on the early ARP helmets.

Lamp is near mint, stores box has some discolouration but rarely seen as nice as this.

Solid nickel fork for the combined war organisation of Red Cross and St John's Ambulance Brigade.

Excellent condition, unusual.

Similar in style to the ATS hat, here we have a Red Cross example.

The hat bands on these vary, some have no band, others have different colours. This must indicate a system of rank with the Red Cross but I don't know any more than that!

Inside it has the BRCS markings and maker details. There is a moth graze and a small area of loss on the chinstrap (could be boot-blacked in).

Excellent condition.

How to gas-proof a room. This fold out chart, about A3 size is printed on thin card with 2 sides devoted to a diagram of a room and all the preparations required in case of a gas attack.

Generally excellent condition.

Bakelite sign for a Wardens' post with white inset lettering. Brown bakelite is naturally dark so I had to scan with lots of light, hence the white paint looks brighter than it is in reality.

Measures 21cm by 6cm.

Excellent condition.
