Great Item!
One thing that strikes me about this item is the sinister nature of the supposed threat and the way that it was sanitised for the younger generation.
I remember reading an autobiography of a German U-Boat commander who was captured and imprisoned during the war years and how surprised he was at the way the British were paranoid about the the threat of poisen gas. He remarked that Germany had no inclinaton whatsoever of using chemical weapons.
A legacy left over from WWI maybe ?
