WW2 British CIVILIAN Gas Mask / Respirator carrying solutions

OK, someone get Mr McWhirter (RIP) on the phone as I foresee a world record number of posts to the following…… I predict that there won’t be as few follow-up posts to this thread since Nazi McNazi posted something about a TR item in the semi-finals of the “All-but-Nazi” Competition (Non-Champagne Decal Class) on “National Non-Nazi Day” in No Third Reich Hereland….

I’ve been looking at NON-MILITARY carrying solutions adopted on the British Home Front recently and realised that this topic is overlooked by most and yet the variations seem to be numerous and in my opinion need to be pulled together and catalogued….but what do I know…..

First, a structurally beautiful Pigskin cylindrical holder. This one’s in great nick and I think the design is stunning….

Next, a more common handbag….with a secret…….

…now I know there are more out there….”leather”-covered boxes, bags, haversacks, holdalls, cones etc…….. but remember…it’s all about the CONTAINER, not the mask / respirator……

…oh and how about having pics WITHOUT camo netting in the background…just for a change!! :-)

PS and if there’s no posts within a month I’ll stick some Runes on them and try again…….I only mentioned "Pigskin" to screw-up their searches!;)
