Thanks for posting. It is an amazingly important piece of history. Hopefully it will one day be at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. IT would be worth a lot of money to them.

Hopefully worth more for its historical value though.

It's a postwar one, with fiberglass sides. WW2 ones were plywood and it'd rotted away from the floor by now if it was a WW2 made one.

WOW, that is a WW2 one, with plywood sides! This is the first photo where you can see wood grain.
