    I have 2 irish WW2 gas masks still in boxes stamped 1941 and 1938, think there is instructions with one.

    One is a little melted at the side as it was laying on a hot pipe, the other is perfect.

    They are from an attic in whitehall, the old part (beaumont road side)

    Is there any value to these as collectables or antiques?

    Not really as these were made in huge numbers,I have one that was also found in an attic and looks like new inside the box.These can still be easliy picked up at many mlitaria fairs.
