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.
This set is a perfect gift for Fathers Day, retirement & more. The set comes with one Off-Duty Crate from WWII & one of these two choices:
1-Glass Decanter
2-Two of our famous 25mm Shot Glasses
The 25mm Shot Glasses are made from spent 25mm shell casings. They are heavy duty and made to last.
Our Off-Duty 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 small wooden shelf that can display personal items. This piece is perfect to house a decanter or 750ml bottle with glasses and more. All of our products are given a hand rubbed stain and signed by the artist.
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. Just send us an email with your special request.
All of our crates can have a name plate added for a small fee (see Custom Name Plates).
