American Small Box Respirator Circa 1917 1/3

Circa 1917, American Small Box Respirator.

It was the first American gas mask model manufactured. This mask is going to be 100 years old in about 7 years. It is in very good condition. It still have some old rubber inside (you can actually see some of it behind the facepiece.

This mask has one rip on the side of the hood, and the left lens is slightly cracked. :(
