Hey guys! I think i got lucky on today's finds and wanted to share them! Also how rare do you think they might be and their worth?

 

#1 is a 90mm AP M77 anti-tank projectile weighing in at 22.9lb (this sucker is heavy!) It's missing its obturating ring. I believe this might be the same projectile fired from a 90mm on a T36 Jackson that would have a 2,605,925ft/lb of kinetic energy after firing at a MV of 823m/s...

 

#2 is a Mach Rifle Amm Chest M1 D3920 Made to carry 15 B.A.R Mags for the Calvary on horse back or for the infantry, I believe it was developed in 1927 and was discontinued in the 1940s. It looks very similar to the pre/ early war .50 cal ammo chests in the way they latch. It has padding on it and had storage tape on it that the previous owner took it off thinking it was old duck tape. This is the first I have ever seen in person

 

Anyways tell me what you think of my new treasures :D!

 

Cheers!
