Well here is an Inland you don't see every day. Not the most traditional one you'll see, but that is the Inland fascade stamping with a capital "I" stamped in the center. And yes, incase some of you are scratching your heads, that is in fact a stamped aluminum ice cube tray. Inland was the guide lamp division and did alot of stamping.

What do you guys think??

Cartouches don't look right, stake marks around the rivets, maybe refinished.
Is that ammo box original? It looks perfect!!!!

The ammo box is a new reproduction a friend of mine made. He makes a bunch of different, very cool WWII-era crates.

I think its a fake! Look at it... they considered 5 round, 10 round, 15 round, 30 round and 50 round mags... that one holds 18.... plus it has never been blued or parked!

Inland was not the guide lamp division they were the Inland division of GM. Guide lamp was in Anderson IN Inland in Dayton OH. Guide made the liberator pistol Inland made the M1 Carbine. They were two totally separate divisions of GM like Saginaw Steering gear and Inland were separate but owned by the same parent.

I just got a original ammo crate like that for X-mas from a friend. But it is beat up enough and overstamped to tell it has been in a war. But your friend has the cut outs for the top and wing nuts and all down perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am impressed.

I'm afraid you've been suckered, but don't feel bad, I bought fifty of them that were "bring backs" from a vet.

Another division of GM was the Frigidaire division, makers of the refigerators that used that Inland icecube tray, and the .50 cal. M2 machine gun!....
