You are bidding on a vintage WW2 piece of field gear. This is an aluminum framed cart for carrying ammunition with two wire spoked rubber wheels. This utility cart was set up for different kinds of ammunition it appears that this was set up for 81 mm mortar rounds. Only one leather strap remains. The fron panel has a stencil: "M-3 Utility" in yellow. Fair condition, the tires still hold air, and the cart is very solid. The hand crossbar in the front of the drawbar is missing, but has a metal end with a ring and spike. Overall length about 6 feet, and about 40 inches wide. Wheel diameter is 20 inches - tires are firestone, and are 2-ply, 4 X 19 - saying "High Speed Balloon, Gum Dipper".
The 3 data plates are interesting. The one underneath on the drawbar says it the "carriage MK3", one on the body says "body MK3", then the third one says 81mm mortar ammunition cart M3 serial number 4
