I found this gas mask at a rural garage sale when I was 12, I paid about 10 dollars for it. Didn’t know what I had until I got home because it was all stuffed into the canister. I understand this is a rare mask and I’m wondering what is the best way to preserve it? I’ve had it in a display case for years where no direct light can get to it, is there anything I can do further? It’s so cool. I would like to learn more specifically about who owned it. I can see on the mask there is some writing and also there is some scratched into the canister lid. It’s hard to read but I see similar letters to what’s on the mask, which would make this a set. It’s so interesting and I want to preserve it the best I can. Thank you!
