Acquired from a military surplus store that permanently ceased operations.

Circa 1940s

In the early 20th century, vulcanized fiber was used for applications requiring more flexibility. Vulcanized fiber, a dense and durable material made from layers of paper or cotton impregnated with zinc chloride, was widely used in military and industrial contexts. It could bend like metal but was lightweight and non-conductive

The company was also registered in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, Thus the name Kennett.

The WWII-era Fibre Specialty Manufacturing Co. handle drawer, crafted from vulcanized fiber, sold under the Kennett brand, is a durable and lightweight storage solution.

Measuring 24 inches in length, 12 inches in height, and 9 inches in width, it reflects the robust design and practicality required for military use during the time. Vulcanized fiber, known for its strength and resistance to cracking or splitting, was a favored material for such applications.
