US field sewing kit?

[jock auld]

Guys,

Although the thread is German I think this is US as the sciccors are american marked?

'Housewives' can be very hard to ID properly, particularly if also used after the war (like my grandmums one from the ATS- only the scissors and roll were period- everything else had been replaced).

I can't give you anything concrete, but I would suggest your geuss is correct..... the cloth roll looks about right, in weight and colour, for US types.

I would agree with Jim. It looks American to me too.

Cheers, Ade.

Yes it is US made.I have one that that is quite similar in style but has a long swallow tail type manufacturers tag on the inside. The tag reads "Style King" and was made in Chicago. The material is a waterproof type. Does this one have that same type of feel to it?

I would agree with Jim. It looks American to me too.
