75MM Recoiless Rifle Crate, 1954

Here is a cool crate I just picked up today at the flea market, I think I stole it for $20...

Hinges, screws and hardware was pretty rusty, I disassembled it, used my drill motor to wire brush the hardware and screws, wiped them all down with oil to keep them from re-rusting, wiped all the dirt and cobwebs from the wood, and re-assembled. The only down side is it is missing on rope handle...

It'll look good in my office, I have one 75mm case, I will have to find another and a couple of projectiles, and fill it!
