Was £65 now £58

The WW2 British army Housewife, or ‘Hussif’, was issued to all troops to enable them to carry out running repairs in the field. This example has no markings; however, it does contain a 1943 dated packet of 5 needles, 4 for sewing and one for darning. It also contains two balls of darning wool, fifty yards of sewing thread, ‘Bakelite’ thimble and a range of brass and steel buttons from various manufactures.

With some external storage marks an excellent addition to any small pack collection.
