Today friend Rolf and I hit a swap meet at the MN state fair grounds  Three Gas cans left is a prewar 1941 Nesco with the 2 lug cap, very rare. middle is a 42, right is a Rudy (Rudy gets first dibs)  I also scored on a very nice M1 bayonet, I did not think it was WW2 till I got home and checked it out.

$25, you should have bought a 100 back then!..... much like 1911 holsters, I remember them at gunshows in the early 70's for .25 each, now $50 and up, LOL

Cool finds!
Just one question:How in the hell does all the good stuff always surface in Maine or Minny-sota?

Plenty in Texas Professor, one just needs to get out and root in the pile.  |

Well done! Most bayonets got sharpened and used for deer hunting. I've never seen the 2 lug gas can before. I'm still waiting for the 1941 Jeep pile in a remote draw at a old ranch that's full of WW2 surplus Jeeps. |

Cool finds! Just one question:How in the hell does all the good stuff always surface in Maine or Minny-sota? Global warming. This prehistoric junk has been encapsulated in the permafrost for generations. Now that the ice caps are receding we're discovering troves of Wooly Mammoth carcasses and Jeep parts. |
