Weird and wonderful stuff. Rene you've got some uncommonly seen stuff. And Aldo's magazine, reminds me of some Popular Mechanics magazines from the 1930's, I got from my grandfather. They also were packed with extremely odd advertisements, numerous trusses for hernia ruptures as I remember.
How unusual is it to have a carabiner section in your collection?

For anyone similarly afflicted they are:
LHS (from top) - UK Op HERRICK 'Black Bag' issue
UK general use / abseiling (Adventurous Training?)
US 'snap link'
RHS - trial samples of two plastic non-load bearing types
...bearing in mind most of us spend ages trying to think of how we can hang stuff up and display it......please tell me you hang these on something....or are they on velvet in a drawer? :-)
Bottles you say Jerry?by Jerry B
Not so unusual I am afraid
Some examples of printed SAS and SRR labels / packaging … for some different tipples … My engraved bottle of port is not from quite such an illustrious unit though … but it is full (for the moment)
Have to say the SRR 'Red' was horrible!!!

Its relevant but hardly inspired Compo; they generally hang on an abseil 'leg loop' in a wardrobe I'm afraid
......this thread's been running for a few weeks now and I'm immensely grateful to everyone for sharing their......errrr.....oddities.......but the kindness of you all has confirmed a doubt I've had for many years about myself and other fellow Militarians......that being, we REALLY do collect some sh*t don't we? :-)

I don't know if you can call these strange, I do know they have not yet been added to this thread.
So here they are, my recently acquired DDR stamp blocks. I just came across these and decided to buy a bunch of them. I have some more then the ones posted, but I haven't taken the time to take some photos of them.
