Militaria:
Here we have up for sale a variety of items that were used by the US and other armies in WW1, WW2 and the Korean war. Most of these items would be useful to modern day campers. Some are probably of interest to militaria collectors only.
By-the-way, currently, local pickup afternoons, evenings and weekends, from my West Seattle location, is all I can offer.
