The inside did have foam lining but it is disintegrating, mostly gone, and only a remnant of the Ken Jones’s moniker is left. There is circular machine-embroidered patch sewn on the front; it is beige canvas, green-rimmed, three individual orange lines forming an almost circle, at the bottom with the words ‘MOUNTAIN GUIDE”, white on a black background. Overlapping everything is black ski crossed by a black ice pick, and over that, a stylized green maple leaf with the letters “ACMG” in white.

Description
A portable, collapsible, roll-up canvas camp cot; it folds in half at the centre, has three sets of ‘crossed legs’ (six wooden legs), metal pieces that keep it all together and a piece of canvas that stretches taut when the legs are splayed. There are two extra pieces of wood to make the bed longer by extending the two pieces of hanging canvas at both ends. The bed can be dismantled, rolled up, and tied with the two pieces of heavy cotton twill strips. Printed on the obverse side of the canvas (so when the bed is put together, it is on the underside of the canvas) at either end is a (Ken Jones’s monogram) “K” with a “J” leading off the top of the “K” so it is higher than the K, in black indelible ink.
