    Here's the little display at the foot of the stairs to my man-bunker.
    A fallout shelter sign, Civil Defense gas mask, the hand painted Air Raid Warden helmet, and my dad's old transistor radio with CD channels.

    These are in the rafters. A Geiger Counter and a charger for the radiation pens.

    A Sk IV Sanitation Kit. These held toilet supplies and sanitary needs. The drum was to be used as a commode.

    I've always thought Geigers were neat... are they fairly easy pieces to obtain?

    I see them fairly regularly. They usually run around $25-$35 here. This one works, but is out of calibration. I think I got both those together for $25. They are pretty fun. I play with mine around the old radium face instruments I have and watch the needle jump. LOL

    WW2 era Civil Defense helmet made from shell of a WW1 helmet with new liner made of rubber covered foam. This one is from an Auxiliary Police department in Connecticut. Insignia is made from an arm band that was cut up and the logos glue to the helmet.

    50's era Civil Defense helmet made from WW2 CAPAC liner for the M1 helmet.
    White painted with hole drilled in top deeming it un-satisfactory for military use.

    During the Cold War, the OCD thought it would be good for citizens to have ID tags also. These were primarily for children. These usually have a stamp from the local OCD on them somewhere. It is a small stamp like a maker's stamp on jewelry. I've seen it on the reverse as well as by the chain hole.
    This particular one is the military version. It belonged to the dependent son of a USAF member. These were made on base for the dependents for the same purpose as the civilian one.
