Original WW1 US Mess Kit Engraved Carl Franklin Photos Memorabilia For Sale

This mess kit was found in Des Moines Iowa. It was donated to a thrift store and the employees either did not know what it was, or did not care. It was tightly sealed shut when I purchased it. I was expecting to find the knife and spoon inside, but was even more thrilled when I discovered its contents. Inside are documents, post cards, and trinkets dating from both WWI and WWII from what I can tell. The name Carl Franklin is engraved on the bottom of the kit. Please see all photos for details before purchasing and feel free to reach out with any questions.
