WWII collectors out there (like me). NOS WWII Aircraft
Turret Safety Straps. These are brand new from 1945, and were used on
several turrets during WWII. These are the two piece ones, with a safety
buckle in the center which looks like a modern seat belt and come with
keepers on the anchor ends so they could be looped around a mounted hard
point. Price is $14.00 each, two for $25.00.

Also interesting. WWII Aircraft Recognition Lights. These were a set of
three colored lights which were used to visually identify aircraft from the
ground. During WWII some vehicles were configured with a set of these
lights to challenge aircraft as they returned. I have all three colors, and
they are brand new in the box. $10.00 each, or a set of three (red, amber,
and green) for $27.00. These are 24 volts, but bulbs can be changed to 12
volt.
