Great work Jerry. I do love seeing items on your videos that I too can find here locally in Mexico City. The Woodland M65’s can be found easily, but what I focus on are the og107’s from 65-82. Those are the ones which are undervalued here. Keep up the great work. Always cheering on the channel.
Happy New Year. The hunt for stuff is always fun. There is nothing better than hunting at a flea market, antique shop because you never know what will show up. Keep the videos coming. Remember, even hater comments count as views and hopefully as a subscriber too.
2:48 the patch has a merrowed edge so post 1958 ish. id leave the airforce buttons on it. her significant other couldve been in the airforce and she added airforce buttons as a reminder. that wall displays style looks more ww1 to me. but couldve been a ww1 thing a seller brought back for ww2. hard to tell. im always skeptical of engraved common items since its pretty easy to do after the fact. the fact that it says 1914-1918 strikes me as kind of a red flag as most of the us engraved stuff ive seen has 1917-1918 or even 1918-1919 since the occupation lasted into 1919 and the treaty of versailles officially ending the war wasnt signed until 1919. those mess trays do date back to ww2. ive got a 1943 dated USAMD (medical dept) one. but they did use those for many years after ww2 so once again, hard to tell. that aviators bracelet pretty awesome. funny story about one of those practice bombs. i bought one years ago from a store in a largeish city. couldnt find parking right near the store so i had to park a couple blocks away. they had one of those for $20, so i bought it. well this was right after the 1st WTC bombing so i got some pretty weird looks walking down the sidewalk with it over my shoulder as i walked back to my car lol. they also had one of those porcupine looking naval mines for $30. but there was no way itd fit in my car so i had to pass. i also like to hold onto bits n bobs and odds and ends. because you never know when theyll come in handy. i even have a box of m1 bits n bobs that i did a video on. and yeah, i get haters too for some reason. happy new year guys!!!

Happy New Year- Thanks for the comments! I am wondering if the mess kit was done by a Frenchie-
Women Marines used to be called BAMs.
