Bought my first item w/ the word "poison" on it. A 1944 WWII era 2oz can of gun bore cleaner. A pretty neat little flask shaped can and seems pretty common. Nice war memorabilia though.

Nice find! I have one of those floating around somewhere, on it was a warning indicating that it was not to be reused to hold food or drink. Common-sense I thought, but odd things and unusual circumstances seem to be rather common in war.

Yeah its the same one. I knew it was a war item when it said it could be carried in an ammo pouch or pocket. Don't see many people walking around w/ rifles if they aren't military, lol. I plan on using some of I can get it open!
