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 is heavily covered in thick red rust and corrosion, but remains intact. Immediate attention is needed to dispose of the canister and its chemical contents due to the unstable nature caused by the rust and corrosion on the canister. The canister could explode like the other duplicate breathing apparatus (INV2023.1006).
