Repurposed German Gas Mask

Price: $160.00

Excellent condition German 2nd War gas mask that was repurposed in the immediate aftermath of the 2nd World War. At the end of the 2nd World War there were mounds of German war equipment left over. Local entrepreneurs used the leftover war gear to create every day usable objects. In this instance a gas mask has been enameled and repurposed into a little carrier. Its height is a touch over 10.5 inches. These repurposed war bits have become collectible in their own right.
