Aberdeen to Louisiana and points beyond

I have a slightly large item which needs to go to Louisiana from
Churchville. The person purchased my USMC ammo cart on ebay and then had
his house flooded so he could not make the trip up here to pick it up. You
would be working out what it costs with the new owner. If you are
interested in picking up some money for carrying this gem back, email me and
I'll send you photos so you can see what you need to carry it. It is about
the size of a jeep trailer tub. I am just trying to help him out.

On other matters, I will be posting a list here of items that I am taking to
Aberdeen for an advance "look" by the list. If you want anything picked up,
I will make arrangements to meet you or your representative to transfer
things. I will have some items like truck glass, brake backing plates, and
other items which otherwise would be expensive (or potentially breakable) if
commercial shipping was used.

Some advance items that I know will be going are

NOS WWII life preserver CO2 cartridges in the issue box.
M211 door glass and frames (2)
WWII LC-23B lineman's climbing belts, NOS (as used by Rangers at Point Du
Hoc)
WWII USN marine diesel manuals
Early 1941 CCKW operations and maintenance manual
Jeep sized pintle hook- possibly WWII
Other sundries yet to come...

Complete list in a few weeks as I get the hangars and warehouses cleared
out.
