    Hi All,
    This one is on Ebay UK and IMO is an excellent piece of WW2 memorabilia.

    Dated 1939.

    The buy it now price is very respectable I feel. If shipping to Tasmania was not so expensive for such a large item it would have been mine by now.
    I hope someone on this forum has an interest and purchases it for their collection.

    All the best

    Wow..I have never seen anything like it. What does it do..and is there a period photo that shows its use? I can not figure out heads or tails of how or what this was used for. I have no doubts of its authenticity...but what is a "Baby Gas Capsule?

    I found this image online at a site called retronaut. It is titled "1940: nurse and baby in gas masks"

    Most unusual.

    Another site, called The Atlantic, has several interesting images showing the item in use.

    Thanks Carl for the images you posted overnight ( Aussie) for Larry whilst I was in the world of nod.
    I think one of these would be a fantastic addition to any mask or WW2 British home front collection.

    Thanks again gents
