Hoping for some enlightenment. These fell into my hands yesterday. I don’t know jack about field gear so... any help anyone can be will be appreciated. One weighs 11.5 ounces, is 14&5/8ths high while the other on is 9.8 ounces and is 13&3/4 high. The big one is branded 1939 while the short one is stamped 1943. The big one uses flat head screws affixing the can to the stick while the lightweight on uses philips screws. They clearly have different pull thingys and the big one has a grey screw top. Beyond that I don't know what to say. I’m wondering if these are current reproductions (which I’m assuming). Also, any clue on the weight difference?
