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.

Ready for display.
