WW2 US Army 50 Caliber Ammo Can EMPTY

The WW2 US Army 50 Caliber Ammo Can is a storage container originally designed to hold .50 caliber ammunition for the United States Armed Forces during the Second World War. Manufactured from durable steel, the can features a hinged lid with a rubber gasket, providing a moisture-resistant seal to protect ammunition from environmental conditions. Typical dimensions are approximately 12 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 7 inches in height. The exterior is usually finished in olive drab, marked with stenciled lot numbers and caliber designation. The robust build and convenient folding handle made it suitable for active military operations, ensuring safe transport of ammunition to the front lines. After World War II, these containers have been repurposed for various storage needs due to their rugged construction. This item is sold empty and retains the historical characteristics and functional design representative of mid-20th-century military equipment.
