Hi my first post on this forum and a happy Sunday to all. I am a complete novice but I have what I think is 1950´s metallic ammo box. It has the crow´s foot mark stamped on the lid and bears very clear stencilled lettering in white on one side - BIC-12-66. Dimensions are 16.50 inches length, 7 3/4 inches wide (including lid) and 7 inches deep (including lid). There are some alpha numerics impressed to the lid but are quite difficult to read - with the exception of the crow´s foot I can make out 20020 (with possibly an A before this. The carry handle looks a little different to those I´ve seen on this forum and in online searches. Maybe it is not for ammunition?
Any ideas ?

Would the H1 be of a wooden construction
Hi Millsbomber - do you think I have posted to the wrong thread? Very new here - is there a more appropriate one? Many thanks SWOKKO
Think you might have been better to start a new thread about your box.
Hi yes thanks I did start a new thread and have already received some useful comments.
For Millsbomber - yes I think the H1 would have been made of wood. If you notice, there is a batten high up on each end. Often these would have been slightly hollowed on the underside to allow for grip while carrying the box.
