WW2 British, Civilian Respirator Tin (with relic mask).

Was £50 now £40

Gas masks were issued in simple but sturdy cardboard boxes with a strip of linen or string to be worn over the shoulder. Commercial and cottage industry manufactures got into the act producing a variety of cases, bags, boxes and tins to hold the civilian respirator.

Still containing its original civilian respirator, all be it in poor condition, this tin, manufactured by Barringer, Wallis and Manners, of Mansfield, is priced to reflect its good condition.

*NOTE:
This item is sold for display purposes only and it is highly recommended that it is not worn to avoid inhaling any toxic substances that may be contained within the filter.
