Scarce WWI US Army Dog Tag Marking Kit

This is a scarce World War I United States Army dog tag marking kit. The top of the wooden case reads MARKING OUTFIT FOR STAMPING METAL. This kit would have been used to make dog tags for the Marine Corps as well as well. The kit contains a hammer and a block to strike the sheet metal against. There are also some plates and a selection of pegs that mark out numerals and the alphabet.

Circa World War I.

Approximately 3-1/8" in height and 9" in width and 3-7/8" in depth.

Painted wood, brass, steel.

Hinge, two hook clasps.

None.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. KEZAR CON-DB-25-13 LBDEX4/13 SBDEX4/13

7 (Very Fine): The kit has some moderate wear to the case; all parts are present.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
