  [#1270]

Hello everyone, I picked this little item up at a yard sale yesterday. The owner was a lady who said it belonged to her EX-husband who was about 60 years of age. She believed it to be Army, but didn't know for sure.

 

It was in a box full of junk, I looked for the eating utensils, but didn't find them. It has a very frayed tag that says "Camp Kit USA" and little pockets inside.

 

Anyone ever seen one of these??

One of my favorite Summer activities, even if the pickings are often slim! :D It's really the only way us "ordinary folk" stand a chance of finding this stuff at a fair price.

Yep, this was definately a good bargain at the price of 50 cents.
