some questions about an ammo can

**ripndip** · 10-22-2012, 01:42 AM

i have a chance to buy this ammo can and was wondering what era it is from and what its worth so i don't over pay

I would say it's WWII vintage, as per the army ordnance flaming bomb. Don't pay too much... they aren't that rare!

Looks like a good WW2 one to me, hard to find down here, I have only a UN blue painted one! I can't really help you on pricing but if I came across it I think my Wifey would let me buy it for $40

It`s WW2,I wouldn`t pay more than $35....Pete.

Some are, yeah. Some are substantially cheaper if you bid low and win.

If you're planning on using them for storage verses using them in a historically accurate display, I'd suggest modern cans. They're likely to be in better shape and have their rubber gasket intact which will keep the cans airtight and watertight.
