One military style folding camp cot from the Ferguson estate, the pattern with wooden spreader bars. The bed is heavy olive drab canvas with reinforced end sleeves, sewn hems and two cut openings in the middle for the center leg assembly to pass through. The frame is aluminum, with two long side rails, a folding X center leg assembly with a formed steel brace bar and blue painted pivot hardware, and end legs that fold flat. Two varnished wooden spreader bars are included and are shown lying loose on the canvas in the photos. Those bars go in last and put the whole bed under tension, and the wooden ones are the older and more sought after pattern. A web tie strap hangs from the frame for bundling the cot when folded. The canvas is sound with no rips, rot or burns found, showing dust and light staining. The aluminum shows oxidation and scratches and nothing is bent. Condition is good. Set this one up once and you understand why the design never changed. Estimated Value: $25 to $45 based on comparable recent sales. Sold as-is. Photos are the most accurate description of this lot.
