Does the bag or any of the bottles or other contents have a FSN or NSN. would be like ####-00-##### or similar? If I recall correctly everything had a FSN on it. Might be able to look up the FSN to help date it.

It kind of resembles a tool bag.

Looks to me, like someone made up a medical kit from civilian items. That bag looks to be an old Kodac Camera bag.

The Benzedrine was used into the early fifties. My dad used them in the Korean War. But I am thinking that if they were US issued medicines they would have more markings stating such. The bag looks military only in constuction. Genuine US gear was ink stamped with "US' and other identifiers.
