Re: Value on NOS ford chains?
I have seen photos of the only known remaining jeeps in a crate. the crate is somewhat deteriorated and the jeeps are a little worse for wear. IMO

I failed to mention the reason for the condition of these jeeps. They are 240 feet under water.

Re: Value on NOS ford chains?
Thanks, but nothing in the pictures on that add indicates that is the CORRECT tire chain for a WWII jeep as pictured in the RAPD layout of the same.
I DO see "Camp Shelby" on the box, but that's not really sufficient for a big money lay out.
There were chains made by Weed commercially available for the 6.00x16 tire. I have 4. The cross chain AND circumference link counts both differ, making them functional for the job, but incorrect.
