MODEL 1907 US ARMY CARLISLE FIRST AID PACKET –
DATED 1916: This M1907 US Army Carlisle First
Aid Packet is dated May 1916, and still retains much of
the original brown paint over the brass canister.
Measuring 4” by 2 ¼”, this packet is full form with some
dents as these all seem to have due to the soft brass
body. The pull tab is present and intact; however it
appears that someone couldn’t resist pulling on it at
some time in the past. The seam around the side of the
canister is open right at the pull tab, but the balance
of the seam is intact. Manufactured by Bauer and Black
of Chicago, Illinois, the embossed nomenclature and
maker’s information on the top of the canister is
legible and complete. These are beginning to disappear
from the market, and whether for your Doughboy outfit or
your Medical display, this is a good example of the
first aid packets carried by the troops in the trenches
in Europe. $40
