Original U.S. WWII 1942 Dated Army Officer Folding Field Desk by Rice-Stix Dry Goods Company with Markings

Regular price $495.00

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic example of the Model 1942 Company Field Desk. This table top fold out desk still bears original paint and has both leather side handles still intact, as well as the lock on the top, though it is in the locked position and we don’t have the key, so it can’t be unlocked and inserted in. The two closure latches on the outside are fully functional, and both hinges on the "top" work as well. The desk measures approximately 20” x 10 ½” x 19 ½”.

This is a wonderful portable mobile desk, ones in excellent condition are exceptionally difficult to find, especially with intact leather handles. Marked in paint is CU 3 WT 50, likely for the cubic area and weight of the desk. There are also some markings that we aren’t sure of the meaning of, including TAT in a red circle, RE7348D, and Y9T. The paint is bubbling in many places and is very worn. The drawer is also missing on the interior. Comes complete with original brass data oval to top which reads:

STOCK NO. 26-C-2834
TENT. SPEC. NOV 15, 1940
CONT.NO.W199-Q.M. 24128

Comes more than ready for further research and display.
