I was moving an old dresser and noticed a tag on the back. "Reliable 8 CPT"
"Detroit"
I bought it at a resale shop in Wyandotte some twenty years ago. Any ideas about the tag??? Thanks. |

One possibility - "CPT" is a shipping term - it stands for "Carriage Paid To"
(You might be more familiar with the term "FOB", which stands for Free On Board") |

P.S. - "Reliable 8" might be a freight company. |

PS, FOB means "Freight On Board" |

Actually, in an accounting term, it generally means Free on Board. |

Look it up, first, Gambling_man -
The official term is "Free On Board", as in, free and unencumbered.
"Freight On Board" is the common mis-translation. |
