WW2 USN TRENCH ART ....part 2










Was away for a little while, so i've decided to share something special for today's post : a ww2 leather tool bag covered with trench art .Trench art has always been my favorite field when i was collecting militaria .Back then,few collectors were really interested in such an item and price tags were usually low.Nowadays you'll have to be really fast or extremely lucky when finding such a sweet piece .Well !! kudos to my good buddy Rich, who secured  this great tool bag for me ,from being snatched by unscrupulous ebay pickers.without him lord knows where it would have landed ......... 
BTW, Mr Robertson was a US NAVY MM 1/C : 1st class machinist mate  in the Aleutians during ww2 ,same rating as Steve McQueen in "sand pebbles"  how cool is that !??......
