WW1 and WW2 Gas Rattle, Wartime Dated
Standard WW1 pattern wooden gas alarm rattle used during the Great War and thereafter during WW2 by the Air Raid Patrol and Civil Defence personnel. Made from a dark brown hardwood timber, in excellent working condition. It is WW2 dated, stamped MB 1943, also looks to be WW1 dated which is not uncommon as much Great War equipment was reissued to the civil forces and Home Guard. Original gas rattles are now quite hard to find especially in working order.
