Feedbags

[Phillip Brandt]

While going through a group of items I recently aquired, I found 3 different types of feedback of the M1912 style. Does anyone know if these have different model numbers or just manufacturers versions of the M1912. I really don't have a great deal of information on these.

The rounded one is probably an Arsenal made version, often those I have owned are dated earlier than the others shown, they are less common.

Ok thank you. One of the square ones is dated 1943. Didn't think they were still making them, must have been for the mules.

That date would not matter as the WW1 cart will have a canvas bucket stowed on top of it.

Very cool! You have all three specs of the M1912 Feedbag. The rounded one is the early version. They went to the square bottom in 1917 for Wartime. The late, 1940s bags are distinguished by the metal grommets in the head strap.

Thanks for that info Cavdoc83.  I have seen more of the 1880's than the 1910/12.
