#15055 - 1942 US Army Medical Department Stretcher
Walking out of a small Antiques Co-Op, what did I spy??? (No way!) An original 1942 US Army Medical Department stretcher for wounded soldiers. Sturdy woven canvas cradle held about 8 inches off ground by a pivoting iron framework which can swing open or closed for storage! It is actually marked by manufacturer: "Superior Sleeprite Corp/ Aug 1942" on the frame. It is 88 inches long. Lifted on either side by green wooden grips tightly attached to heavy rods which slide through the cuff at canvas sides. This is the real deal. Technically, it could have been at all the major US Army Battles in either Europe or the Pacific. How many of these are left in such great shape???
