Description
First up is a robust collection of United States military insignia and hardware that would make any veteran or collector stand at attention. Included are multiple black subdued Private First Class (PFC) rank chevrons both loose and on original card stock, a sterling-finish Expert Rifle qualification badge with 'RIFLE' bar, a red and white enamel unit crest reading 'Ex Hoc Signo Victoria' (believed to be 8th Medical Brigade), and a set of crossed-rifles infantry brass collar discs on blue backing. Rounding out the military grouping are a genuine United States Marine Corps 'Semper Fidelis' brass challenge coin, a Toys for Tots commemorative challenge coin reading 'Every Child Deserves a Little Christmas,' and three colorful enamel unit crests depicting a shield with crossed sabers and the motto 'Fight Win' (consistent with 3rd Infantry Regiment DUI), plus standard U.S. collar brass discs in both standard and display-backed formats. A small clear plastic vial on a ball chain and what appears to be a miniature novelty bottle round out the curiosity cabinet portion of this lot.
Shifting gears entirely, the final item is a vintage gray steel single-latch toolbox in well-used but structurally sound condition, packed to the brim with an assortment of hand tools. Inside you will find a spirit level with red housing, a heavy cast-iron C-clamp, open-end and combination wrenches including a Facom-branded example, socket drive pieces, a flathead screwdriver with amber handle, a brush, a Dormer-branded red drill bit box, a 12V car charger cord, and a prescription bottle repurposed for hardware storage. The toolbox itself bears a handwritten label and shows the honest patina of a life well-worked.
