Second hand score
Posted: Wed 30 Jan, 2013 2:16 pmI was instructed to get rid of some "Stuff" so went down the local junk shop to see if they wanted this "Thingie" Talking to the owner I did a swap for a couple of boxes of old assorted camping gear.
Got it home and found that what I thought was 3 single aluminium billies was actually 3 nesting billies in each. Anybody want one??
As I did so well these will be $3- each plus postage although one of them is rusty so decorative only; one for the collectors?
In fact the big plastic crate all this was packed in was worth the swap on its own. Japanese boy scout knife fork and spoon set any-one?
Some of this is going to be listed on ebay as Vietnam era Army gear is for collectors these days but there was an issue hootchie and a West German poncho in the bottom of the box as well as an old canteen and cup from 1969 ( I'll probably keep the kidney cup tho ) If you want photos of the score I'll post them but mainly this post is for interest only. Even I no longer eat off an enamel plate
I may take the LPG stove to Falls Creek for the basecamp tho, it works and the bottle is full of gas still, the gas lamp even has an intact mantle
