Thanks Phil! With a bit of luck, I should start construction next week on the pole barn! Can't wait for the extra storage.

Re: mudbox's flea finds
Yesterday, I answered a FB Marketplace ad for a $30 LISTA cabinet. When I went to pick it up, I asked what else he was selling. He let me look through this garage and I found this 1/2" drive Duro Chrome socket set sitting on a table in the back.
For $5, it was for sure coming home with me!
Theres a mix of sockets in there, but at least 5 are D-I sockets.

It's been a while since I've brought home a wartime fuel can. I believe this is the first RUDY can I've come across.

Nice one. I haven’t seen many wartime cans lately.

A couple of recents finds.
From the local antique store, I found this 'hose' for $5.
And from the facebook marketplace, I scored this 48 star flag for $1 a star.

Nice "hose!"
Is that a casket-sized flag?

Re: mudbox's flea finds
It's a Field Flag, not internment. I've had them QMC and CCC marked in the past.

Re: mudbox's flea finds
I sent the flag pics and some questions to a retired Coast Guard Rear Admiral. His response helped to shed some light:
"Army Regulation 840-10 controls this. Chapter 2, sec. 2-3 a. (4) and (5): Both storm flags and internment flags have a hoist of 5’ and a fly of 9.6’."
So, both flags have the same hoist and fly. Ultimately, his opinion was this flag is a storm flag.
