With a possible second Cold War

[limblips]

I have decided to sell my 1960's personal bomb shelter. No low ballers, I know what I have.

The elementary school that I attended up in Howard County was built in the early 30s as a 1-12 school. In the bowels of the basement, where the big heating boilers were, were stacks and stacks of the original student desks, complete with the hole for the ink well. The school was demolished in the late 70s....I wonder what happened to all the junk in the basement.

I have a few of these from a fallout shelter cleared out about 35 years ago.

I remember those.... our high school rifle range was actually the fallout shelter, and there were a number of these stacked up against the wall.

Time to reopen all those closed SAC bases! B-52's back on alert with nukes strapped under their wings. Miss those days heating water sitting on alert with KC-135A's.

Not familiar with that but guessing a radiation detection kit or some such?

There is a tv series, American Restoration, and in one show they did a refurbish of one of those detectors. Apparently the tube in the wand goes bad. They did get it repaired, but I don't remember if the tube was replaced or re-energized.

I’ve got a couple of those, mostly saved them for the commode instructions.

I’ve got two storing some stuff in a corner of the basement and another functioning as a trashcan next to my desk.

I have a complete and "running when parked" Onan civil defense generator from the 60s. It's an air cooled 4-cylinder gasoline engine....and noisy as hell. I've got it mounted on the back of an old pickup truck.

You know - I've never seen most of this stuff, but it all called to mind something I have NOT seen since I was a kid ---

Fallout shelter signs throughout the city. I'd totally forgotten about them.

Dont' know what happened to it but they're all over ebay.
