Original U.S. WWII Era Trojan Powder Company High Explosives Crate
-
Original Item. Only One Available. The Trojan Powder Company was an American manufacturer of explosives founded in 1904 that made nitro-starch powder. It had a manufacturing complex in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and another facility at Roberts Landing near San Lorenzo, California.
The company thrived during World War I (1914–18), continued research and development in the interwar-period, and during World War II operated a large facility in Sandusky, Ohio, under contract to the army. After the war, production scaled back. A facility in Oregon was sold for use by the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. In 1967, Trojan Powders became a division of Commercial Solvents Corporation (CSC). It was later acquired by the Ensign-Bickford Company.
This is an interesting WWII era crate for high explosives. It measures 19½ x 11½ x 10¼” and is stenciled 1 ¼ X 7 TL-502.
