Excel. Condition Original Korean War (1953/54) Us Army Canvas/wooden Folding Cot

AN EXCELLENT CONDITION KOREAN WAR ERA US ARMY WOODEN FOLDING COT WITH CANVAS COVER. THESE COTS CAME OUT OF A FCDA (FEDERAL CIVIL DEFENSE ADMINISTRATION) EMERGENCY SHELTER WHERE THEY HAD BEEN STORED FOR A LONG TIME.

THEY POSSIBLY HAVE NEVER BEEN USED BEFORE. THEY WERE MADE IN 1954 BY GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR ORTHOPEDIC EQUIPMENT COMPANY UNDER MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS # MIL-C-10883B. EACH COT IS COMPLETE WITH BOTH END STICKS, A CANVAS CARRYING HANDLE AND 2 ATTACHED CANVAS TIE DOWN STRAPS FOR EASY STORAGE AND TRANSPORT. GOVERNMENT ISSUE, AND ARE CONSTRUCTED OF HEAVYWEIGHT OLIVE DRAB CANVAS AND HARDWOOD OAK.

ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CANVAS COVER IS A PAPER LABEL STITCHED TO THE MATERIAL THAT SHOWS THE COT'S FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS. NOTE: OVER THE YEARS THE STITCHING OF THE PAPER LABEL HAS BEGUN TO SEPARATE (SEE PHOTO # 8). IN ADDITION EXPOSURE TO LIGHT HAS CAUSED MILD "YELLOWING" TO THE LABEL. 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. NOTE: OVER TIME THESE COTS HAVE INCURRED RELATIVELY MINOR SCRATCHES TO THE PAINT FINISH , TARNISH TO THE METAL FITTINGS AND SCUFF MARKS TO THE CANVAS. THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM LOOSE COTS BEING STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER AS WELL AS BEING MOVED ABOUT AND STORED WITHIN GOVERNMENT SHELTERS OVER A LENGTHY PERIOD OF TIME. WITH THAT NOTED MOST OF THE WEAR TO THESE COTS IS SUPERFICIAL AND UNAVOIDABLE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HOLES, RIPS OR DRY ROT TO ANY OF THESE CANVAS COVERS. CONSIDERING THAT THESE COTS ARE NOW OVER 65 YEARS OLD THEY ARE IN GREAT CONDITION.
