Military & Civil Defense

Explore vintage military, surplus, and civil-defense objects selected for their history, utility, construction, and collector interest. This collection brings together pieces originally made for military service, field use, preparedness, and civilian defense—from rugged bags and field gear to Cold War-era equipment and unusual historical artifacts.

Whenever possible, Mrs. Bones researches identifying marks, dates, manufacturers, construction details, and historical context so that these objects are preserved as more than simply “old military surplus.” Some pieces may also be documented through the Mrs. Bones Research Library, where their histories can be explored in greater depth.

Inventory changes as unusual pieces are discovered, and many items are one-time finds that cannot be restocked.

History • Identification • Provenance

Normal was never an option. 🖤
