Ammo Can

[Ryan B]

Hey forum!
I recently got an ammo can from a man who i helped clean out his antique stall. He said it was ww2 50 cal ammo box. It has A.F. next to the latch and is marked Nl. Co. Any ideas
Thanks Ryan

Got a photo?

I've got a WWII 30 cal can, they look pretty similar, exept yours would be bigger of course. You can search Ebay for an example, usually have a bunch of them listed. I don't have a photo of ours because its PURPLE!. We picked it up at a shop with intention of cleaning it up and repainting it. Turns out these things are pretty easy to come by and I don't think we are going to spend the time to restore anymore, will just pick one up when we stuble over another for $10, this time in the correct color!
