Sold for: £14
A collection of mid-20th-century personal gear and travel equipment. The lot includes a heavy-duty olive drab canvas kit bag stencilled with a civilian address for Waterlooville, Hampshire, England, and a name appearing to begin with J. N. Footwear consists of a pair of white leather lace-up shoes, the insoles of which are stamped Made in England and Somervell, identifying them as K Shoes manufactured by Somervell Brothers of Kendal. Also included is a pair of vintage black leather track or athletic boots with red laces and leather soles. Equipment includes a pair of early black rubber non-vented swim fins, a mid-brown leather satchel with buckle closures bearing a Smith name label, and a large tan canvas drawstring kit bag. Further items comprise green webbing components, a small white canvas bag with brass eyelets and lacing, and a blue synthetic fabric bag. The stencilled address near Portsmouth suggests a connection to naval personnel travel or surplus.
