you have a WWII 1942 GI Canteen Belt Carrier in brown OD canvas in excellent condition. It is right out of my personal collection. The carrier is dated 1942 and is marked Shane Mgf. Company. Shane is a rare manufacturer of GI canvas field gear. The carrier has brass hangers. The button snaps work (but please be careful when snapping the cover shut as the item is sixty-five years old). US is stamped to the front. The maker's information is on the back under the belt hangers and is clearly legible. The carrier represents the second wartime model 1910 belt carrier made up through 1942 during WWII according to the reference book GI, Government Issue, A Collector's Guide to the European Theatre.) T is no tears, or dry rot to the canvas, fraying, etc. T is soiling to the base and the body of the cover from wear in the field. The stitching is solid and the trim is similar to the brown canvas body. The insulation is nicely preserved. The canteen belt carrier has retained its integrity. Further, 1942 is the first full year of the war (when the issue was in doubt). Gear issued in 1942 was used up on two fronts over the ensuing 3 to 4 years of combat. I have included a photograph from page 78 of GI, Government Issue, A Collector's Guide to the European Theatre. As noted this comes out of my own collection. I will be scaling down my personal WWII GI military collection over the next few months. This 1942 GI Canteen Belt Carrier marked Shane with brown canvas in outstanding condition would make a wonderful addition, upgrade and/or completion to a WWII GI Field Gear Collection. It would look fabulous in your display, museums, and for educational and theatrical presentations. It also would make a moving gift to a veteran.

Payment in US Dollars is due within 11 days of the listing's conclusion. I accept Pay Pal. Checks are fine but I generally clear them. Money Orders and Bank Checks ship ASAP. Items paid through Pay Pal will ship when the funds clear and are transferred to my bank account. Buyer in the States pays US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking slip. I will combine postage for multiple purchases. W First Class Postage is offered, I insist on a padded bag so a delivery tracking slip can be used. The cost of First Class includes the padded pad. Tracking is mandatory for all Pay Pal domestic transactions. For Pay Pal purchases of $250 and larger, a signature return receipt/tracking and insurance are mandatory. If outside the States this will change. I ship world wide for all countries recognized by Pay Pal. Shipping options will be provided. Insurance and tracking on large size or large dollar items ($250 or over) are mandatory. Smaller items can be shipped easily, safely and affordably in a Global Priority Flat One Rate Envelope or First Class Mail International (the cost of the First Class includes a padded bag). Surface mail is not an option. International Bidders must pay in US Dollars. Pay Pal is the accepted method of payment. I save all Postal Service Receipts as well as copies of your payment as proof of delivery and completion of the transaction. The mail is not infallible and that is why insurance is available to you (your choice/option) for domestic and international transactions. It is your responsibility to understand and ad to these terms. I have enjoyed interacting with buyers from four continents and dozens of countries. Many have been veterans, active duty GIs, home front family members in our war, authors, artists, teachers, museum curators, etc. You are encouraged to email with questions.
