Military and civilian supplies, made between 1848 and 1960
We purchased the stock from a supplier to the armies in the Lyon region, active from 1848 until the end of the 1950s.
Our finds will be put online gradually, be patient, here are already some old objects already offered for a few weeks.
The company's managers having refused to work with the occupying forces, there is no military manufacturing from the Second World War in this lot, but from before...yes!
This section brings together everything that we have not managed to fit into the other sections, and not only the production of the army supplier mentioned previously, you risk making surprising discoveries there.

Belt that belonged to an officer named Meyer, assigned to a field artillery regiment, the 66th Lothring (Lothring, like Lotharingia, according to the 843 borders), based in Saint-Avold, which was located in Germany and belonged to the XVI Army Corps.

Regulation pompoms for bachis, made before WWII
Produced by Éts David.
In short, sailors often purchased their pompoms with their own money, and you can come across extremely varied types of pompoms. Depending on the fashions of the time, sailors enjoyed wearing models that were quite different from the standards of the time.
Here are some notable examples.

Puffs for naval caps = Regulation pompoms for bachis, 1913 model and before. Non-contractual photo. Price by one
As you can see on the sample plate (not for sale) from the port of Rochefort dated 1913, this type of pompom was approved by the maritime authorities.
The border features loops that one would not expect to find on sailors' pompoms.
Until 1870, the color of the pompoms, also called "shock absorbers" because their function was to cushion the impact of bumping one's head in the gangways, was blue and red!
The regulation of March 27, 1858, even specifies:
"This puff is composed of 112 strands of blue thread and 76 strands of madder thread."
The puff remained two-tone until February 21, 1870. The regulation then specified that it was composed of "150 strands of madder thread." The sailor's red pompom is therefore a relatively recent appearance, and its purchase or manufacture often remained the responsibility of the sailor, who was supposed to have time at sea... Except when repainting the boat, which was a major occupation for sailors.
In short, pompoms of extremely varied types can be found, and depending on the fashions of the time, sailors delighted in wearing designs that were quite different from the standards of the time.
Here are a few notable examples. Colours can be slightly different and also aspects of wool. We deliver them as we found them.

Here are some notable examples, more recent than the other models from Ets David that we also offer.
The " fastening system runs right through the pompom, and the top of the fastener is sometimes visible at the top of the pompom.

Set of 2 Swiss backpacks, suitable for use as panniers on a motorcycle! PRECEDENT PRICE: 120 €
The Swiss army kept in its stocks backpacks very similar to those of the Wehrmacht during the Second World War, the outer part retaining its fur-covered skin.
Clever people often try to pass them off as something they are not, except that the Swiss cross is usually stamped on the inner canvas.
These bags are excellently waterproof... Which a Swiss customer found very appropriate for equipping his motorcycle with these two bags diverted from their original function.
We therefore supply these two bags with a metal piece designed to attach the bags to a motorcycle luggage rack, which will customize it in a totally original way, but you can also separate the two bags to collect them individually.
Not sure your children will appreciate them as school bags, but they could be part of a collection, or used in entertainment, as a substitute for bags of other nationalities and other periods.
Fair condition.
