Veteran's souvenirs from estate auction.

Hello again everyone,
All of the above items are going to be sent to Bodhi as a donation to the museum he works with. Thanks for all of your interest this old stuff.

Now here is a pic of what I found at an auction today. It looks like they are some type of small Japanese cannon shell brass that have been cut down and flared into shot or sake glasses.


 
Cheers!

Bodhi,

What musuem is it you work for? The wife and I are planning to visit as many as we can find after she retires in June while we RV full time. We both love them and she loves airplanes as well.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

I am punting this thread because I have just made contact with a gentleman in my area that is looking to buy ANY WWII memorobilia, I am going to visit his collection on Monday.  He told me that he has over 7000 items and plans on opening or donating all the pieces in his collection to a muesum.  If you still have any of the items you got I can put you into contact with him.  I plan on taking lots of pictures when I go over there next week.
