Here’s the 1948 Report On The Universal ‘Jeep’ in Conservation I mentioned last week. At twenty-three pages, it’s larger than I expected with lots of photos. All but three of the photos were taken at the Rio Grande College Farm in Ohio (see last page for more info).
Questions About These Items
Peter wrote from Poland, explaining that he’s rebuilt a variety of Willys Jeeps. However, he’s not had any luck learning about these two items below and is hoping someone has more information about them.
1. This filter has two necks. Anyone have more information about it?

2. This USMC stamped Jerry can has a European neck, something he’s not seen. Anyone know more about it? (Note that the bottom is red)

Photo of Soldier Checking M-38A1 on eBay
No date on this photo of Joseph K. Brown checking this 1952/early 1953 M-38A1. There’s a possibility that this could be Joseph K. Brown who served in the Korean War and died in 2013.
