Need assistance on M-1941 Blood Pail lettering.

Post by Bill_Wolf »

Anybody have any information or better pictures of these Blood Bank pails. I am told they were an M-1941 coverted cooking pail.

I am specifically looking to find out what the smaller lettering on the side says.

I need to letter mine up correctly.

Try Page 94 "The GMC 6X6 and DUKW A Universal Truck" by Boniface and Jeudy. I liked the book so well, I bought 3 Copies 25 years ago. It shows the Blood Containers marked ETO Blood Bank.
