This Buy it Now auction is for some old U.S. Military Mess Hall "K.P. Duty" items. There are 4 cooking pots, one water pitcher, two food trays, and two wooden rolling pins. The largest of the cooing pots has a 10 Gallon size marking, a "US" marking, and a 1944 date. It has a lid. There is 36 Quart marked pot that has one welded on handle, and no lid. There is a 20 Quart marked pot that has two side handles, but no lid. There is a smaller pot with a "US" marking and a 1943 date on the lid. I do not know the size of the 1943 dated small size pit that has the lid. The three larger cooking pots all have the same manufacturer logo. The water pitcher has "USN" United States Navy markings on the bottom, is enameled, but has chips to the enamel. The Mess Hall Food Trays have markings on the back side. There is an Army one with a "US" marking and a 1944 date. The other mess hall food tray has a "USN" Navy marking. The wooden rolling pin do not have any markings. These items are old and in Used Condition with wear damage from use. These items have missing lids, missing handles, part missing, dents, scratches, paint loss, oxidation to the metal parts, sun fading, dirt stains, split cracked old dried out wood, etc. These items are no longer in the perfect condition that they once were in the day that they were first originally manufactured. These items are both damaged from having been used, and damaged from being old. Time slowly destroys old things. These items are not for sale as usable items. these are old war relic collectables, for sale "As Is", as collectables only. These items ate large, and heavy bulky items to mail. Expect the shipping to be expensive. These items will have to be mailed in a package around the size of 26 Inches by 26 Inches, by 35 Inches. These items are for sale "As Is". Trying to ask me if you could buy one of the items separately, will only get you on the Blocked Bidder List. You have to buy al the items together, or nothing at all. I show some screen capture Black & White reference photos from the 1962 filmed WW2 Television Show titled, "The Gallant Men", that show WW2 vintage mess hall cooking pots being used. I also show a reference photo from the 1945 movie, "They Were Expendable", where a cooking pot is being used. Nothing in the reference photos is offered for sale. Only the old cooking pots are offered for sale.

"Poor Terrible Condition". They are better condition than "Dug Relic
Condition" items. Items are no longer like how they were the day they
were first manufactured. Items have been used by someone Decades ago in
another Century. Items will have defects and damage from having been
