Vintage Civil Defense radiation detection kit with original components, manuals, and government markings, complete in original shipping box.

This authentic Cold War-era Civil Defense radiation detection set features metal and plastic construction with distinctive yellow protective casings. The complete kit includes two CD V-720 Geiger counters (dated DEC 1, 1974), a CDV-750 dosimeter charger (serial #139224), multiple radiation dosimeters, original manuals, and supporting documentation including the 1983 FEMA "Radiation Safety in Shelters" handbook. The equipment bears Civil Defense "CD" triangular logos and was designed for monitoring radiation levels during potential nuclear emergencies.

The set was manufactured by Jordan Electronics (a division of Victoreen Instrument Company) in Alhambra, California for the United States Civil Defense program. Notably marked "PROPERTY OF THE STATE OF" on the original shipping carton with CD V-777 identification, this set represents equipment distributed to state and local government facilities as part of America's nuclear preparedness efforts during the height of Cold War tensions.
