These original Vietnam War ammunition crates housed 2 cartridges of 105mm shells. The wood along with the original hasp latch gives this item a modern look to its war worn body. The latch can also be fitted with a lock.
This Howitzer crate has been designed to hang vertically on the wall and can house three 750ml bottles on the steel rods, with two stemmed glasses hanging above. There is additional storage for accessories, such as corkscrew or stemless glasses, on the bottom shelf.
