robinb Posted May 11, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2015 I would have never even looked at this table since it doesn't look GI. The antique store owner pointed it out to me. Well marked and even has an instruction sheet glued to the bottom. Measures roughly 4 foot square. Link to post Share on other sites
hardstripe Posted May 11, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2015 Looks just like the tables we had in our mess hall during basic training. I never had a chance to look at the underside for a label. I was always looking at the floor while doing push ups though. HardstripeI collect US Army chevrons and US Army Finance Corps items.

gwb123 Posted June 27, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 27, 2015 The ones you guys ate your meals on probably dated back to WWII. They were probably used for a very, very long time.
