The U.S. Marine Corps Life Preserver Access Kit from the Vietnam era represents an essential piece of military memorabilia, specifically designed for survival and safety in aquatic environments. This unique kit, manufactured in the United States, comes complete with four main components: a gray distress marker flashlight with an incandescent bulb (dated 1968), a sea dye marker, shark repellent dye (dated 1971), and an OD green whistle (dated 1971 and manufactured by Laydon). These items, never used and in their original packaging, highlight the meticulous attention to detail and preparation characteristic of the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy during this tumultuous period.

The kit’s practicality is matched only by its historical significance, capturing a moment in time when intrepid marines and sailors relied on such gadgets for survival in open waters. Packaged in its original box—carefully selected and opened by the supplier to ensure the kit’s components are in working condition—it also features a repacking list from 1972-1974 by the Marine Corps Supply Center in Albany, Georgia, attesting to its authenticity and originality. Whether for a collector of military paraphernalia, an enthusiast of naval history, or someone with a deep appreciation for the U.S. Marine Corps' legacy, this Life Preserver Kit is a poignant reminder of the bravery and preparedness of America's servicemen and women during the Vietnam War.
