| WWII NAVY OFFICER WHITE CANVAS BAG - MINT |
| THIS IS A WHITE HEAVYWEIGHT CANVAS BAG THAT WAS OWNED BY A RETIRED NAVY OFFICER WHO SERVED ON THE U.S.S. BLACK IN THE PACIFIC DURING WORLD WAR II. I ACQUIRED IT STILL IN A BOX THAT INCLUDED A NUMBER OF EFFECTS OF THIS OFFICER THAT HAD APPARENTLY NOT BEEN USED. THE BAG, WHEN OPENED, IS KIND OF "IGLOO" IN SHAPE, WITH A HANDLE ON THE CLOSED END. IT HAS 4 "TIES" ON THE INSIDE AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF GROMMETS. I AM NO MILITARY EXPERT, SO I DON'T KNOW THE FUNCTION OF THIS BAG. IT IS 23" LONG AND, WHEN OPEN, 17" DIAMETER AND ABOUT 1 3/4 LBS. PHOTOS BELOW SHOW IT FLAT, AND STANDING OPEN. |
