I have my Grandpa's footlocker in my bedroom... I use it to store some of my WWII reenacting gear. I don't know if it's US GI WWII, although it certainly is old! Given the dark green color, it might just be issue. I'll have to take some photos and post them later this week. I've always wondered if it was actual issue, or a civy version.
Oh, I also have a can of unique surplus grease that I'll need some help identifying too. If I remember correctly it's dated May 1952!

Subject: [MV] US WWII GI footlockers
Since we have such a fabulous and diverse source of knowledge here on the
list, I wondered: does anybody on the list have construction drawings, plans
etc. for US WWII footlockers?
Yes, I realize their were several variants, just want to be able to make
one right for a MV display or reenacting without risking a cherry gennie
one.( Plus, it will give me a chance to get that often-discussed perfect
WWII OD color down before I shoot my WLA. <g> Thanks in advance for any and
all help, and for being such a great resource for information.
Best regards to all,
T. Bones Morris
