Blast Shelters! Aah the good old cold war days! Rare

Blast Shelters

The Laymnans Guide for Surviving a Nuclear Attack in Canada in the 60s

Printed in Ottawa by the Queens Printer and Keeper of Stationery in Ottawa- 1962

The Cold War per se lasted from 1945 to 1991, but the 60s were really the time of Dr. Strangelove!

These booklets were widely distributed at the time, but for the most part have dissapeared. To find one in almost mint condition is a rarity. This one comes from the estate of someone who really kept everything and anything that might be important, if not now, then later.

I  take pride in bringing The Uncommon, The Hard to Find, The Unusual and often The Rare to the incredible eBay Market. An inordinate amount of time, effort, travel, money and an ever-growing network of suppliers have all combined to make this possible.I find, bring, research, photograph and describe a vast array of items and present them for your collecting pleasure. The small S&H fee attached to every item covers this. After two years my feedback has exceeded the magical 2,000 mark  & I have not tired, nor lost my enthusiasm for this fascinating quest and continue to derive a great deal of satisfaction from the happiness I bring my buyers. Some of the rare Military Items I have found are now housed in Museums at Klerken in Belgium and Cambrai in France as well as Museums in Italy.
