I just wonder how many of these things this guy actually sells at
$59.95 each. Not many I would think. I've got a jinuwine NATO
ammunition box on the floor as I type. It looks close to this one, but
no rope handles, and a bit larger. Probably it cost NATO $2, max, and
I imagine even less than that, Probably something like this would sell
pretty fair, at around $15-20 each, especially at a fle market.

Good informaiton to have in case they come onto the surplus market.

Let's hope he didn't emulate the preservative aspect of the design.

I have quite a collection of surplus wood, metal, and sealed, reinforced
plastic ammo boxes. Great for tool boxes and for storage because they
stack. Wood ammo boxes are exposed to toxic stuff over their military
lifetime, but unless obviously finished, usually will be of the
ultra-cheap and quick type with no preservatives. Usually just a cheap
rough box stapled or nailed together. They are designed to be stored
indoors for the most part, with relatively short outdoor storage if
needed on site - ie: not supposed to be outdoors for years - they're
*wood*. Usually will have painted lettering though.

This one can't be a real ammo box, or he's lieing about being safe in
child's mouth, as the normal ones have enough chemicals in them to
preserve the box until the ammo disintegrates.
