1957 wooden ammunition box

[XF Falcon]

Found a 1957 ammunition box at my grandfathers house today (empty unfortunately haha)

Does anyone know if they are worth anything at all?



cheers!

Not sure mate, they are not that hard to come by I don’t think, I know my mates dad has a few of em in his shed at the farm, I’ve got 2 wooden Gelignite Boxes from bout 1940 in my back shed aswell.

Ahh sweet as, I had no idea how common they were :P

Might start using it as an old school toolbox then maybe hah

Very common, just wander into any of the "militaria" shops.

It is worth maybe $10-$20.

I've got an old ammo box in my room I use to store old Ford/Mountain Bike mags in (Read: Porn mags)

Bought it for $20ish at a local army disposal store.

xf falcon, I have one too, but it's probably worth a bit more than yours. It's full of .303 ammo. Inside is a metal can and it's a bit like a tin of sardines with a little key type thing to open her up, which I haven't of course.
I have a 2 three 0's, but buy my ammo rather than crack this open.

there may be some of these around with historical significance - ergo more value possibly ALOT of value might be an idea to check the numbers etc on it to make sure its not historically significant

that is cool btw I would keep that

[snappy]
