Authentic vintage U.S. military wooden ammunition crate with original stenciling and hardware.

This heavy-duty crate was originally used for cannon or mortar ammunition with explosive projectiles, as indicated by the factory stenciling. It features solid wood construction, reinforced slat lid, original metal latch hardware, and thick rope carry handles on both ends.

The crate shows honest military wear including scuffs, patina, stamped markings, and surface imperfections that add to its character and authenticity. No rot, no structural damage; lid opens and closes properly.

This piece is highly desirable for:

• Military and WWII / Cold War collectors

• Industrial, rustic, and farmhouse décor

• Man caves, bars, offices, and retail displays

• Storage for tools, blankets, vinyl records, or memorabilia

• Film, stage, or photo props

Original stenciling includes warnings and lot markings, making this a strong visual statement piece that cannot be replicated with modern reproductions.

This is an EMPTY crate; no ammunition or hazardous materials are included.
