Lot 197:
Large Caliber US Military Style Ammunition Storage Can, Olive Drab, Mid-20th Century
Sold for: $30
Description
Heavy-duty military surplus ammunition storage container constructed of steel, finished in olive drab paint. This style of can is consistent with containers designed for larger caliber rounds, such as 20mm or 25mm, often associated with weapons systems like the M61 Vulcan cannon, though no specific model number is discernible. The design features a hinged lid secured by heavy side latches (implied by the hinge mechanism). The front face is structurally reinforced by a prominent diagonal metal bar. One end of the container features a distinctive perforated metal section situated above a folding metal carrying handle assembly. The item bears no visible manufacturer markings, model numbers, or patent information. Two identifying labels are affixed: a “HELLO my name is” sticker handwritten with the text “Deacon Arms” or “Deco Arms,” and a partial USPS Priority shipping label on the lid handwritten with the words “BRASS” and “MSINONLY,” suggesting subsequent use for storing spent shell casings or reloading components. No measurements are provided as no scale is present.
