Introduced in 1943 to save on war strategic metals, this “economy” version of the Carlisle first aid packet, issued to the US Army, saw the sterile gauze wrapped inside a laminated aluminium paper sheet, in its turn inserted in a double waxed cardboard protection. Devoid, on the inside, of the sulfanilamide shaker-top envelope to be found in the previous variants, this generation of the kit brought in a new bandage type, still in linen, but brownish in color (hence, the designation of Field Brown Dressing). Produced by the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical industries, the specimen for sale presents itself in good general conditions, with the tinfoil, which, opened on one of the short sides, partially reveals the content: an interesting find, both for the reenactor and the “worn” pieces collector.
