Heres a couple of pics of my original 1943 dated second pattern plywood style footlocker...
A friend happened to find this footlocker in a Goodwill store here locally for $25.00 and I bought it from him for $20.00 since he had no need for it and at the time it had no tray to go inside of it. He told me... "I saw it and thought you'd like it, so I picked it up." Its dated on the inside of the lid...
Abel & Bach Inc.
Tent Spec. C.Q.D. No. 61B
1943
Heres a few photos of what it looks like today!
Enjoy....
All of the contents in the bottom section of the footlocker are original U.S. GI Field Uniforms. In the tray roughly 90-95% of the contents are all original WWII US GI personal items and yes that is an original unopened pack of Chesterfield Cigarettes.....LOL...
Hope you all enjoy....
Kind Regards,
