Spotted this M1910 canteen lying against a tree in the hedgebottom leaf litter at Deenethorpe the other day... :)

Made a start on gently cleaning it, in case there are any scratched inscriptions:

Well done there Paul, what a great find. How many times have you walked past that spot over the years without spotting it?

Paul seems to have the knack of finding something everytime he goes to Deenethorpe, I think I need some PB training as all I've found at Desborough is a watch office gutter bracket.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

Almost a century old. They don't make them like that any more!

I see Brylcreem (2) and Bovril (4F) but, I hope that's not a Perrier bottle in the centre!

The large green bottle is Oakham Ales and is dated 1943, 2nd photo.

The brown bottle is Myleto, a hair restorer, and the little clear on is an ink bottle.

The Woodbury bottle, is believed to be a beauty product from New Jersey, US.

There's loads more stacked either in my shed or on display on top of the kitchen cupboards.

That's disappointing; I thought that it might be a fifth of Bourbon.

Regarding finds, and more to the point, does anyone have a copy of the B-17 parts list as there's a few parts with numbers that we wish to identify.

A good friend of mine has several hundred bits but has no idea were abouts on the aircraft the're from or what they did.
