yep both WW2 and nice, for me the .30cal ones are harder to find.
Thanks Rene for the info appreciate it!The paint looks to be original at least from what I can tell.30 M1 for the garand and 03,50 cal must be for machine gun.What does the word CROWN mean,maker?
Crown is the maker .30 cal tin can be for the M1919 mg
Thanks agian!
Hey Eric here's a good web site on them Mate
U.S Military Metal Ammo Boxes
Crown made boxes are hard to find. You got a great deal there!
Thanks guys!
Sir,
The smaller Ammo box made by Crown is
one of the hardest makers to locate.

Actually for the .30 cal Browning MG, as René pointed out earlier.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a Crown in the wild.
Very nice find!
