[Milsurplus] TBY repro bag at auction

[Hubert Miller]

Here's an auction for one of those repro canvas bags made for the movie
"Windtalkers" :

I was told the antenna holder section was made a little too short also -
looks like not by much, tho.

Any kenner can immediately tell it's not an original:

the bag is too clean

the color is wrong

no stamped number on it

material looks too "soft"

also-  the 'Windtalkers' radio would have probably been an earlier version
of the radio, not an -8, in my opinion. 
This photo, if it comes thru, clearly shows the early version with the
non-rotatable antenna.

Seeing the reserve price, those of us with a complete TBY or two can
consider ourselves upper class.
