A Pair of Heavy-Duty Wooden Military Equipment Transit Crates - A pair of heavy-duty wooden transit crates constructed from thick-cut pine or fir planks with vertical reinforcing battens. The rectangular chests feature hinged lids and thick natural fiber rope carry handles threaded through recessed wooden cleats at either end. The construction uses iron hardware including central metal hasps and staples for securing the lids. Each crate is built with robust corner joinery and horizontal plank sides. The interiors are empty and demonstrate the same utilitarian wooden construction as the exterior surfaces. Both crates are fitted with metal hinges to the rear of the lids and show remains of oxidized iron fasteners.
