You know you've been a skydiver for most of your life when.

You're helping an old friend by putting up her antenna. You have to run the cable through her half basement and then you notice, lying in the other old junk down there...

Your eyes or your memory is going; or both. That reserve container is nothing like a StyleMaster, MiniSystem maybe.

A S/M reserve container was like a square cut block of wood; nothing like the rounded end flaps of that container.

No, I confess I never touched it. I was too busy with that damned antenna.

Easy to compare Minisystem to Stylemaster

Well, I've still got work to do on the damned antenna so the next time I'm over there, probably this week, I'll get the info off the container or card.
In the meantime, place your bets.

If you compare Ian's two photos & your photo, you will find that the StyleMaster has one very distinct, easy to see difference. On the S/M see the piece of 3" Type 4 webbing where the side flap meets the back of the container? Neither of the other two containers have that.

I was thinking "bets on what it is" not if it's a Stylemaster or not, since it isn't. I'm not sure how well the photo shows it, but I could tell it wasn't from standing there looking at it.

If we’re betting on what it is, my bet is D.B. Cooper’s missing money.

I might make a bet if I had it in my hands.

I 'think' it is a MiniSystem; however, TampaPete may have the real answer. Do you have the phone number of the local FBI office?

No, but I'm sure they've got mine.

So the Minisystem is bigger than the Stylemaster?

Irony runs rampant, doesn't it?

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
