I helped my Mother move and found a great item

I traveled to Indiana this past weekend to help my 78 year old Mother move. This was the 3rd time she has moved since my dad passed 21 years ago so I wasn't expecting to find this great Red Cross Emergency Cot. Apparently it has been stored in the attic of every place and I wasn't around for the other moves so I missed it.

With my Mother's permission, I claimed the cot and took it home today. It's in beautiful condition!

My sisters were over and I asked them about it. They are 7 and 10 years older so a lot happened before I was around. Liz, the younger of the two didn't remember it but my older sis, Becky remembered sleeping on it during camping trips.
Mom said that my dad dragged it home one day but didn't remember exactly where he got it.











Later that day we were looking at old pictures and Becky cried out, "here's a pic of the cot with me on it!"
You may be able to see the date on the side of the pic, 1958.
So, I know it's at least that old but don't know any more than that right now.

It's fun when you find that sort of thing hidden at Mom and Dads house. Nice find. Doug
