27Division18 Posted May 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2021 Is this an ammo box from WW2? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinO Posted May 12, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 12, 2021 TAEHB is a post war marking (late 40s/50s) for rounds in bandoleers. Probably a KW era crate, though I don't think there is a real way to narrow down by specific lot code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverplate Posted May 12, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 12, 2021 Your shipping box is from the 1950s. WCC lot numbers from WWII ended with 6427. Still a nice item with clear markings from a less common manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblincat Posted June 16, 2022 Share #5 Posted June 16, 2022 I'm only a year late.. I have the same Army ammunition box with the same 6653 lot number, but mine has the original mailing label that says it went to a rifle and pistol club by Buffalo, NY from Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, PA back when you could order amm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblincat Posted June 16, 2022 Share #6 Posted June 16, 2022 ... accidentally hit submit... Back when you could buy surplus rifles and ammunition right from the Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
