WHAT ARE THESE? Any Idea?

Post by doctordirt » Wed Sep 15, 2021 8:47 am

This is a set of 2ea 5 liter cans and a small toolbox. All in a holder like a gas can holder.
German embossed lettering says "KRAFTSTOFF 5 LITER"
Someone added vinyl black letters which read "GAS, OIL, TOOLS"

Any idea what this is for? Time period?

Maybe motorcycle?

Thanks,
jd

these are DDR armour cleaning kits for chemical, atomic, contamination. The 5 ltr kanisters contained some kind of chemical, and the box has rags, brushes,etc to aid in cleaning.

Many thanks for the answers!

I am unsure how I will repurpose this set. It does look pretty neat.

Now freshly painted in Aervoe Early war flat OD.

Swap one for a water can, leave one for fuel and put cooking gear in the tool can? BBQ on the go :wink:
