Named to V. Kehrlien. I have not researched the name. I will leave the fun part up to the buyer.
Features an oak or hardwood slat frame with an olive drab or tan canvas back pad laced with cord.
Stamped with the maker's mark "BOYT" and the year "43" (1943) on the canvas and wood.
Developed during World War II for the U.S. Army (including mountain troops) based on Alaskan "Trapper Nelson" packboards to transport heavy field gear and medical supplies.
