Our Honor ammunition crate was first put to use during World War II. This crate held 42 pounds of 0.5 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 to honor or remember those who have served.
This piece has been retrofitted with a genuine WWII tent peg that can hold dog tags, chains, dog collar and more. Our Honor crates have a small wooden shelf has also been added to house any other personal items to be displayed.
A portion of every purchase is donated to one or more of our chosen non-profit organizations.
We are more than happy to customize most crates for you. We realize that sometimes the stain you want may not be available...no worries we can make one for you, usually with no additional charge. We just need a few extra weeks to customize it for you. The majority of our larger crates are made to order. However, we usually keep a few different variations in stock.
All of our crates can have a name plate added for a small fee (see Custom Name Plates).
