You’re buying an early Texaco wooden crate. Both sides read as follows:

The Texas Company

5LBS

REG. U.S. PAT. OFF.

Texaco

Thuban Compound with a green T between the words

Manufactured at Port Arthur, Texas, U. S. A.

The sides read

BAY. J. S.

5/9/21

The 9 may be another number…it’s a bit hard to read. The crate has wear. I have photographed each side and the bottom. Please message if you have questions about the condition of the crate. I have not attempted to clean the crate. It will be sent to you in as found condition. Free shipping!

The photographs are a large part of the condition description. Please inspect all of them carefully and review them thoroughly for condition of the item.
