Up for auction here we have a Rare TRAGER TRAPPER NELSON'S Indian Pack Boards Backpack. Cream or Beige in color. These HTF and prized backpacks were made in Seattle, Washington starting in the late 20's I believe and were used by the Forest Service and Boy Scouts starting in the 1930's if I remember my readings correctly. Very cool old piece of history here. This one is in really SOLID and COMPLETE shape! There is soiling and some stains in the fabric which come from close to 100 years of use. A previous owner did a patch job on this (see pics) that is well done and the color matches. The materials and construction still look GREAT though! I found a few little tears in the pack and straps, no major holes or flaws though. I included 16 pictures so you can really see and judge for yourself. Everything's holding together very firmly, and you could still use this backpack for a rugged trip in the mountains today, I'll bet! Look closely at the photos for they are exactly what you will receive. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.
This Vintage backpack has a Buy It Now of $160.00 OBO. See below for details. THANKS!
I like to put up at auction all kinds of what I think are cool things periodically, so save me as a seller, check my other auctions periodically, and hopefully win a few for one fair combined shipping rate!
First off, please take note. I am simply a guy who loves to collect and occasionally wants (needs) to declutter and downsize…meaning get rid of some stuff! I am not an experienced reseller, nor do I have an Ebay store. So, there are bound to be some mistakes, miscues, poor pictures, incomplete descriptions, what have you. Bottom line, please FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME w/ any questions regarding anything I sell. I am no expert in the goods I offer up here. I merely loved them and bought them at some point. Ultimately though, I WANT YOU TO KNOW PRECISELY WHAT YOU’RE GETTING in bidding on my things, with no gray area whatsoever. So DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT.
As selling on Ebay is a sideline to my main career, I will be able to answer emails in the evenings and some mornings. I also will be able to ship packages twice a week most likely. In a nutshell, PLEASE BE PATIENT. I am not Amazon and cannot have your package to you overnight. But trust that I will do the very best I can.
I WILL GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING. Simply reach out to me when getting multiple items, again when you’re all finished, and I’ll invoice you with a total including very reasonable shipping cost. As I start back into this selling stuff after some years away from it, we’ll find the way to navigate what works best for both parties.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME. If outside the U.S. and wish to purchase one of my items, please reach out to me beforehand with your location for shipping costs. I will weigh your package and get online shipping quotes and get back to you with a total.
As an Ebay member since 1999 with outstanding feedback, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY are of utmost importance with me. I will do all I can (within reason) to assure both parties are mutually satisfied with our transactions. If when it comes time to leave feedback, you feel compelled to post negative or even neutral ones, DO REACH OUT TO ME FIRST WITH ANY ISSUE and we’ll work to resolve it.
