Vintage BCB “Lofty Wiseman” Survival Tin – Complete with Original Contents & Instructions – Made in Great Britain
Original vintage “The Lofty Wiseman Survival Tin” manufactured by B.C.B. International Ltd, Cardiff, Sales Code 2252.
A lovely early survival/bushcraft collectable associated with survival expert and former SAS soldier John “Lofty” Wiseman.
£119.99 or sensible offers considered. Price Includes Tracked UK Postage. PayPal.
The tin retains its original orange identification label and appears to contain the original survival equipment, including:
The contents appear unused and several components remain in their original packets/containers. The tin and contents do show age-related marks, tarnishing and deterioration consistent with long-term storage. The instruction leaflet is present and in good vintage condition.
I have deliberately not cleaned, polished or altered the tin or its contents so that it remains as original as possible.
This is being sold strictly as a vintage collectable/display item. Due to the age of the kit, none of the survival components, chemicals, tablets, matches or other consumable items have been tested and they should not be regarded as suitable for current use.
Made in Great Britain.
A particularly nice example for a collector of vintage survival equipment, bushcraft memorabilia or Lofty Wiseman/SAS-related collectables.
