ORIGINAL WW2 (1945) US ARMY CANVAS/WOODEN FOLDING COT

Description

YOU ARE PURCHASING:
A VERY GOOD USED CONDITION WW2 ERA US ARMY WOODEN FOLDING COT WITH CANVAS COVER.
THE COVER IS DATED MARCH 2, 1945 AND IS MADE BY GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR WALTER C. ROESSIG & CO.   THE COT FRAME IS MADE BY CRAWFORD AUSTIN MFG. CO. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE IS BASICALLY ILLEGIBLE (SEE PHOTO # 8).
THIS COT IS COMPLETE WITH BOTH END STICKS, A CANVAS CARRYING HANDLE AND 2 ATTACHED CANVAS TIE DOWN STRAPS FOR EASY STORAGE AND TRANSPORT.   THESE COTS ARE U.S. GOVERNMENT ISSUE, AND ARE CONSTRUCTED OF HEAVYWEIGHT OLIVE DRAB CANVAS AND HARDWOOD OAK.
WHEN OPENED UP THE COT IS 27"  WIDE X 78" LONG AND 17" HIGH.  WHEN FOLDED, THE SIZE IS APPROXIMATELY 37 1/2" X 6 1/2" X 5".
WEIGHT:  26 LBS.
NOTE:  THE COVER DOES HAVE AREAS WHERE ITS OD COLOR HAS FADED AND IS SUN STREAKED FROM EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT.  THE CANVAS ALSO HAS SOME MINOR SCUFF MARKS BUT NO HOLES, TEARS OR DRY ROT AND IS STILL VERY STRONG WITH A LOT OF LIFE LEFT IN IT.   THRU NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR THE COT FRAME HAS INCURRED SCRATCHES TO THE PAINT FINISH ON BOTH THE WOOD AND THE METAL FITTINGS, BUT NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.  WITH THAT NOTED MOST OF THE WEAR AND TEAR TO THIS COT IS RELATIVELY MINOR.  CONSIDERING THAT THIS COT IS NOW OVER 75 YEARS OLD I CONSIDER IT TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
