Ah hah!
So there was an issue knife with the fork and spoon! I have seen many issue forks & spoons in the past but never found a knife which made me think that they must have just used their clasp knife.
Thank you Ed for posting that information.
David,
The 4 gallon flimsy is definitely a civilian one by the top handle (flat metal soldered to the can versus the military issue ones that had a wire handle and by the filler opening is a screwed on tin cap versus the sealed cap). I am happy just having the can as I collect gasoline cans too!
As for the first aid metal box I found today it is stencilled on the top;
8-1000
OUTFIT
FIRST AID
GENERAL LARGE
Does anybody have any idea what this first aid kit was for? Vehicle maybe?
Regards,Derk
