Due to large demand this particular crate may take 2-3 weeks before shipping. The majority of our crates are made to order. Please know we are working hard to keep items available.

Our Cork & Cap ammunition crate was 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 for wine! This original WWII ammunition crate has been modified to house bottle caps, wine corks and other collectables. A bottle opener has been mounted on the side for your use along with an etched plexiglass front. 

A portion of every purchase is donated to one or more of our chosen non-profit organizations. 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. 

*All of our crates can have a name plate added for a small fee (see Custom Name Plates).
