    Description

    This came out of my grandpa's shed several years ago.  The box, without the lid, measures approximately 12 x 7.25 x 4.25.
    The lid reads:
    WORLD CHAMPION AMMUNITION
    WESTERN CARTRIDGE COMPANY
    EAST ALTON, ILLINOIS
    SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION
    MADE IN U.S.A.
    Each end of the box is stamped "No 3 Middle Fork".
    There is a little bit of splitting here and there but everything looks stable; since bringing it home from Grandpa's I've had it in a bookcase with paper items in it.  All components are intact.  On the lid, one top panel is a little bit warped and one edge has a thin streak of white as if it rubbed against a painted item/wall.  This box has a beautiful patina (my photography doesn't do it justice) and gives off that old wood smell.
    Please view the photos carefully for condition.  Photos 1 and 11 show the box and lid together.  Photos 2-4 are of the lid only.  Photos 5-10 are of the box only.
    Shipping is actual cost; please see the Shipping and Payment tab for options.
