Yeah, they're empty (DUH!).
Turns out my wife's Dad worked at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal and was given these two guys...
But what are they (please avoid the B-word, we don't want to be flagged now, do we?)?
Are they legal to own (you never know these days...)?
Do they have a value?
Who would buy them (are there GB equivalents for these kind of memorabilias)?

When I was a little kid in the Philippines, they used things like that for the campus bell to signal when classes started/ended. There was a fair amount of "left overs" when a certain conflict in the 40's came to an end.

Looks like the lightweight 100-200 lb incendiary b***s - similar to what was dropped on Tokyo in WW2.

It was Slim Pickens as Major T. J. KONG

Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

It's like this.....
Does anyone remember a few years back there was a simulated claymore mine hitch cover (http://www.gggaz.com/claymore-mine-trailer-hitch-cover.html) that drew attention on this site and around the net? Those were identified as prohibited under Colorado 18-12-109 (tel:18-12-109), Paragraph 7.



SECTION 1. 18-12-109 (tel:18-12-109) (4) and (7), Colorado Revised Statutes, are amended, and the said 18-12-109 (tel:18-12-109) is further amended BY THE ADDITION OF THE FOLLOWING NEW SUBSECTIONS, to read:

18-12-109 (tel:18-12-109). Possession, use, or removal of explosives or incendiary devices - possession of components thereof - chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons - persons exempt - hoaxes. (2.5) Any person who knowingly possesses, controls, manufacturers, gives, mails, sends, or causes to be sent a chemical, biological, or radiological weapon commits a class 3 felony.

(4) Any person who knowingly uses or causes to be used or gives, mails, sends, or causes to be sent an explosive or incendiary device or a chemical, biological, or radiological weapon or materials in the commission of or attempts in an attempt to commit a felony commits a class 2 felony.

(5.5) Any person who removes or causes to be removed or carries away any chemical, biological, or radiological weapon from the premises where said chemical, biological, or radiological weapon is kept by the lawful user, vendor, transporter, or manufacturer thereof, without the consent or direction of the lawful possessor, commits a class 3 felony. A person convicted of this offense shall be subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of two years.

(6.5) Any person who possesses any chemical weapon, biological weapon, or radiological weapon parts commits a class 3 felony.

(7) Any person who manufactures or possesses or who gives, mails, sends, or causes to be sent any false, facsimile, or hoax explosive or incendiary device or chemical, biological, or radiological weapon to another person or places any such purported explosive or incendiary device or chemical, biological, or radiological weapon in or upon any real or personal property commits a class 5 felony.


In my opinion, the items the OP possesses meet the criteria of Paragraph 7. Placing these in the driveway is a sure way to find out how serious CO considers such possession and placement "in or upon any real or personal property". However you choose to do it, I recommend you get rid of them ASAP!

Member alxone (http://www.ar-15.co/members/4279-alxone) may be able to sell these and he lives in Nebraska!

Paint one Olive Drab and strap it to your motorcycle's sidecar and watch the SUVs in rush hour traffic give you plenty of room.

Well, thank you Ginsue!
That is exactly the kind of info I was looking for.
So, they will stay at my mother in law and she will call the Arsenal to come and pick them up tomorrow.
$300-$400 bucks are not worth a felony.
Bullshit laws![Rant1]
