List Members,
Came across an item this weekend that none of our group could identify, with
certainty. It's a piece of canvas, approximately 3' x 6' with several loops
sewn to one side of it. One of the loops had a wide web belt, about 6' long
threaded through it. It appears that the other loops should have this same
belt inserted. Along either of the side edges, an additional piece of canvas
is sewn, about 2' x 6'. So we have a 2' x 6' piece of canvas, fairly light
weight, a 3' x 6' piece of canvas, pretty heavy duty with three sets of
loops at each end, and a second 2' x 6' piece of the lighter weight canvas.
All dimensions are approximate.
On the item is stenciled: U.S.
Bedding Roll
Model 1935
Elsewhere, there is some additional lettering. The first part is smudged but
the legible part reads "Cab Co 1943".
We have access to several of these, and if we can use them in our Museum, we
will. Any help in identifying them, and their purpose, would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
