Own a genuine piece of history that has been repurposed to fit into your home. Our crates were first put to use during WWII. This crate held 42 pounds of .50 Caliber Ammunition. After the war came to an end, it survived decades in storage, outside in the rain & snow and now has become a storage crate.
This crate is sold in the ruff. Zero modifications have been done and the crate has all its original hardware and finish. All of our crates have been demilitarized and this one is no exception. All the writing has been painted over. This crate is excellent for reenactments or your own personal project to make it into whatever you want.
