webkitlover Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi, I have a large Fire engine red metal box about 2ft x2ft x18" with a partly removed see through sticky back plastic sticker, it says: (in bold black print) "ANTI POYS BEATHING A"........the rest has been ripped off (The "A" I assume was APPARATUS) "ANTI POYS" to me seems a very odd word, it would seem to be English, it's most likly an abreviation of "poison", by why the "Y" ? (no pun intended) So Who works with Poison and breathing Apparatus? Farmers? Chemists? Fire dept? Police? It has a large suitcase style handle and metal clips on the lid, Because of it's bulky size and weight (more so if full), I can't think it would be carried far so perhaps something normally stored on a vehicle? I asked a Friend that was in the London fire service for decades he has never seen a box like it, or with that spelling, perhaps it came from Civil defence or some sort of NBC group? any thoughts, Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAFMT Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Antipoys is a single word iirc, it's the trade name of the product by Siebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
