Original U.S. WWII NOS Armorer’s Toolchest M6 in Original Shipping Box - Storage Wear - Dated 1942
In stock
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a great New Old Stock example of a WWII Armorer’s tool chest in its original shipping box which has deteriorated heavily. Measures approximately 22 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 9 1/4" when packed in the original box.
The sides of the original chest read:
CHEST
STEEL, M6
D28201
The chest retains its original inner shelf with a bag with the original two keys. There are no other components in the chest. Both latches work well, but the leather carrying handle on the lid is beginning to deteriorate. The paint is likewise showing heavy wear with oxidation peppering appearing heavily across the exterior of the chest. There is thankfully not nearly as much wear on the interior, but there is some.
The original cardboard shipping box is in disrepair with it having broken in several places with the cardboard separating as well. The box retains a label on the front reading:
W-852-ORD-10606
MILL SHOPS - FEDERAL ST.
SPRINGFIELD ARMORY
SPRINGFIELD, MASS.
MFD. BY METAL BOX & CABT. CO. CHICAGO, ILL.
The label is obstructed by ink but a great example. The box retains faint markings which date the chest to July 1942.
A very worn new/old stock tool chest with its original box! Ready for further research and display.
