Vintage Canteens

A pair of vintage canteens. Both are still solid and should hold water. The green one is dated 1969 on the bottom.

The aluminum one, let's face it, is quite dented, but still looks water-worthy.

Both have original lids attached and are in surprisingly good shape.

These are either from Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts.

Boy Scout First Aid Book, 1939, by Norman B. Cole M.D.

Here's a wonderful find! A Boy Scouts merit badge handbook from 1939.

Flipping through this book is a trip back in time: wonderful photos and charming little sketches. Just priceless.

Written by Norman B. Cole, M.D., Assistant visiting physician at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Co-author (with Clayton H. Ernst) of "First Aid for Boys".

This book was used as a library book and was re-bound with an outer cover. The outer cover has some stains (either paint or ink) and labels that have been partially removed. The title page has been perforated with letters that spell out Cleveland Public Library.

The interior pages are in good shape and the binding is solid.
