Thanks WH and 381st digger I was very please to get the tooth soap box, Ive found plenty of plain brown ones at a number of sites over the years but this is the first embossed one. I think the green bakelite top was also to associate the colour with the contents peppermint flavour.

Re: British Airfield refuse dump.
Hello LS, when you posted your last finds I must have still been in awe of that Scottish Merlin and not been paying attention. The ally pipe section with the brass ring inside "Again this is alloy made but poor condition, seems to be a downsizing tube joint, notice it has a brass washer/seal on the inside". If the smaller diameter is about 2.5 inches you have the middle of a reflector gun sight. It's the section where the label fits. Better late than never!
