dmv Posted December 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2019 Would this crate be Ww2 issue? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverplate Posted December 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 25, 2019 I might be able to help. Can you supply a better photo of the lot number, or just write it in a post? Thanks. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmv Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted December 25, 2019 LOT TW L-19408 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverplate Posted December 25, 2019 Share #4 Posted December 25, 2019 Your shipping box is post-war. The last lot number produced in WW2 was 19310 (1945). The plant was closed in August 1945, then reopened in 1946 when production resumed. Your box is from that late 40s period. Nice example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverplate Posted December 25, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 25, 2019 Sorry. That lot number should have been 19390. Guess I need stronger glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmv Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted December 25, 2019 Thank you very much Silverplate! That info isnt online available, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverplate Posted December 26, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 26, 2019 The lot number information is not, it came from my copy of Ordnance Service Bulletin SB9 -AMM4 dated 1946 - Small Arms Ammunition Lots and Grades. The information about Twin Cities Ordnance Plant can be found online. Glad I could help. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
