WWII Pup tent

[10x]

I have 5 shelter halves (1/2 of a pup tent) and poles for one tent. They are in decent shape for 1942 items, in fact, useable. Are these worth anything?

Two poles one tent? Sounds kinky! [Muaha]


Sorry for the derailment. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

^^^ Never mind him, Daves not here.

Get ahold of Al, member Alexone. He would be a good resource.

OK, I sent a PM to Alxone.

Did you do an internet search? I am sure there are some collector forums out there.

Why would cows want a tent?

UncleDave, ebay shows $75 on up. I don't know if that is realistic or not.

[onebadfx4]

Gonna post some pics?

OK, onebadfx4, you shamed me into it. Cinderella is trying to download some pics and email to me now. May take a short while.

Three pictures I took a few minutes ago. You can see the manufacturer and 1942 date, the "US" in the second pic with the poles and third a larger pic.

I picked 2 up off cl for $25 with poles and stakes

[theGinsue]

I was gonna say, these were available in Massachusetts about 8 years ago for $30.

I have 3 OD shelter halves passed to me from my grandfather. My brother and I used to use 2 halves (1 tent) to sleep out behind the house in when we were kids.

I used to use these in my Boy Scout days in the late 50s and early 60s.

[Gunner]

I have several of those too. I like to set them up camping so my dogs can have a place out of the sun

[alxone]

a complete tent (2 halves , poles , guy cables , repair kit , ect) 10-40 bucks depending on year and condition .ww2 tents are super common so around 25 bucks for a complete kit . most folks only want a half for table covers or a good tarp

[theGinsue]

Saw a guy at the Springs gun show today selling sets of 2 shelter halves with 6 pole sections (all genuine) for $15. But, the shelter halves were very faded but looked to be in good shape otherwise.

I am old enough to remember that we used those tents when I was in the Boy Scouts.

Roger that. I have a set of poles if anyone needs them.

I have a Pacific theater two sided camo pup tent that I picked up at the Colorado Springs flea market in 2000. $10 as it was: no pickets, poles, but it was in great condition overall.
