I am very fond of a US Army Mountain Cookset, two 2 quart aluminum pots with bails, and a stainless steel fry pan/lid with folding handle. Quite light and useful for backpacking with groups of four to six.

It has a date of 1951. I bought it about 1958 or so, probably for about $2.


It is old enough that, just possibly, Canoedogs might not have one in his collection, but I am not sure I want to bet on it.
