A cotton and latex rubber pneumatic life vest with adjustable straps that wrap around the waist and pass through the legs. It can be inflated by Co2 cylinders that are present to the bottom of each side that are activated by pulling the white cord. The life vest is marked “AN6519″, date of manufacture: Feb 15, 1945″, Property U.S. Government.” In very good condition with light signs of age.

Really nice, complete war time example!!
