Original U.S. WWII Crate for C-3 Composition Demolition Blocks - Dynamite - Dated January 1945

Original Item. Only One Available. Dynamite was a very crucial material used by both sides during World War II. Due to the nature of these items, very few examples survive to this day. Most, if not used, were intentionally destroyed for obvious reasons!
