Thought you guys would like to see the newest thing I picked up for my Civil Defense collection. It is an old water barrel that would have been used to store water in a fallout shelter. Found it in an antique store today and I plan to use it to store the documents and film strips from my collection on. I figure this will be a much safer storage space for them instead of the high pile they are in now that could topple over at any moment. I think now the only thing I need to pretty much complete my collection (sort of I will always find something else to add) is one of the sanitation kits packed in one of the cardboard barrels, a functioning (or close to functioning) siren and some of the tins with those crackers in them. Here are a few pictures.

Thanks! It holds most of my collection pretty well and makes a much more stable base than a tower of papers on top of a cardboard box. Looks cooler too.

That would be pretty cool! I'm actually using it right now to store most of my collection. I can fit everything except a cardboard box that contains 3 high level survey meters and my civil defense helmet inside of it. Actually looks a lot better than a box with a huge stack of papers on top of it.
