Up for the taking - Original WW2 B-4 Model Life Preserver Vest, made by Goodyear Tire and Rubber in August 1943. This item is an original piece, has been in my collection for several year after being bought at auction. The vest is in OK condition - the rubber seams are separating in places, both oral lines are missing and the rear metal neck is missing as well. Item has a period repair and certification makings, as well as other small marks on the rear of the body. All other hardware is present. This item was nick-named the 'Mae West' by servicemen in WW2; I'll let Google explain that.Best Offers always welcome.All sales as-is / no returns, North American sales only, Paypal only unless specific arrangements are made before bidding and winning.
