sugarface Posted October 31, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2022 Hi - I’m trying to date this blasting cap box, but I just can’t get it to ask me out! (Haha!) But seriously, I’m having a hard time deciphering this… I’m trying to find the year. Would it be 63? I’ve read many web pages about dating military items, but this one has me stumped. Many thanks!

Allan H. Posted November 1, 2022 Share #4 Posted November 1, 2022 It should be mentioned that while the paper label is 1963 dated, my personal bet is that the wooden box is much older. These boxes were commonly refilled and new labels installed. I wouldn't be surprised if this box was made in WWII. Allan Link to comment
Taber10 Posted November 1, 2022 Share #5 Posted November 1, 2022 Sorry, but that is unlikely. The paper label shown certainly refers to the box and not the contents. If refilled, as they were constantly, that label would NOT have been replaced, most likely it would have been removed. Link to comment
