Description
All Service Model S Breathing Apparatus with Carrying Case
A chemical breathing apparatus with black rubber respirator mask with glass lenses and chemical canister. The device is stored in a small rectangular wooden (?) dark red carrying case with a hard dark leather handle and two metal latches on the top.
NOTE: The original chemical canister has exploded due to heavy red rust and corrosion all over the canister. The canister has split into two pieces with dried chemicals splitting all over half of the case. Immediate attention is needed to dispose of the canister and its dried chemicals.
