Woven Military Equipment. The Russell Manufacturing Co. Webbing Specialists. Middletown, Connecticut, U.S.A.

“Let’s get dressed up for war!”

---

Well-illustrated trade catalog issued shortly after the First World War by the Russell Manufacturing Company of Connecticut, specialist weavers of elastic and non-elastic webbing. The company was especially known for producing cartridge belts and machine gun ammunition belts. This catalog also highlights the broader applications of its webbing, including haversacks, belts and pouches, holsters, rifle slings, and balloon or parachute harnesses. An appealing example of a rare catalog, apparently unrecorded, and an unusually specialized subject for an American trade catalog.
