Old Military Memorabilia

Roymil · Nov 2, 2019

So I bought a house with a garage full of junk but there is some cool stuff.

There are a few file cabinets full of old military manuals, pictures/posters and magazines. Black military dress boots (several pairs and sizes). Not too sure what any of it is worth but I'd like to get something out of it before it goes to the dump.

I'll post up some pictures of some of it and if there's anything that catches your interest let me know. Make offers on pieces or bundles. Open to trades as well (ammo, firearms, good quality knives/ edged weapons/ tools)

More pictures of the lot. Boots are gone (donated). Much more still than what is pictured as well. If anyone can give me ideas on values of this stuff that would be greatly appreciated; even if you're not interested input helps. Thanks.

Come on guys, help me get this stuff outta my garage and into the hands of someone who can appreciate it.

Anything in your collection related to nuclear power or submarines?

It all looks to be in great condition. Any chance of donating it to a library or VFW?

I've thought about it; I was hoping it would end up with another collector since this collection was years worth of work to obtain.

I think you would have a good chance of selling at this site Gunboard's Forums

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Everyone going through Army OCS ( at least in the late 60's) was issued all the Field and Tech Manuals. Army ROTC cadets probably, too, although I don't now that for sure. Mine ended up in the trash after moving them once. Now you can download them for free or nearly free here.
