Mountain Cook Set, Dated 1945 1 only

Description

1 only dated 1945 mountain cook set.
All aluminum kit except for stainless steel lid which is used as skillet. This is larger than the standard U.S. G.I. mess kit and is better suited for cooking larger quantities of food. 2 large pots with top-swing handle measure 7 1/2" dia. x 4" tall. Everything fits together and cooking condiments, spices, utensils, etc. can be carried inside the kit.
The cookset was designed to serve the needs of two soldiers on an extended operation away from a company mess. The set consisted of two pots, the smaller nested into the larger, and a lid for the larger pot. The cover could also be used as a frying pan.
New old stock with a minor dent on the larger pot from storage.
