Up for bids at auction:
Up for bids is this antique, wooden ammo box/ cartridge crate. This neat old box was a barn find from an old farm estate in Northern Missouri. It has good looking, worn paint and readable lettering. Just right for a restoration or display piece. Lettering on the side reads 2000 CARTRIDGES- PISTOL BALL CALIBER .45M1911 IN CARTONS- EVANSVILLE ORDINANCE PLANT. Overall, the box is in good condition with old worn corners and hammer and nail construction. The boards around the sides are all in good condition, however a couple of the bottom boards are a little soft (see pics). The box measures 16 1/2 inches long by 12 1/2 inches wide by 6 3/4 inches tall. Just a nice looking, older, hard to find box. Please refer to the pictures and feel free to email .
The items I sell are “Barn Finds†from old farm estates throughout Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Many of these items carry some rust, dust and dirt and are ready for cleaning & restoration. All original patina, showing years of use and aging – restore to your liking.
Selling without reserve to the highest bidder. Don’t miss out by waiting until the last minute. Once it’s gone… its gone.
Keep in mind that the quality, American-made items I sell are from a bygone era. Items made to be used a lifetime; from a time of values, quality and dependability. You will not find them in today’s mega-stores.
Please see my other auctions.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
