Ammo Can Question

[frankderrico]

This ammo can has been in our family for over 60 yrs. My father and his three brothers all WW2 vets. They brought home lots of stuff, and I believe this can. I thought it was lost, but I recently found it in my barn. I can remember when it looked new, I seem to remember it had some stenciling on top that might have said .30 cal. carbine but am not sure. 15 round mag. won't fit but 10 round might fit, I don't have one to try. It used to have a black felt in the top and bottom of both containers. I think it would hold 30/10round mags. Can anybody shed some light on what it is? Thanks.....Frank

Looks something like a old GI Engineers Transom box my Father had. He used it as a tool box on one of his tractors.

Wish I could be more help.

Thanks Charlie, boy it might be my imagination but I recall something about ammo and this can. I used it for farm stuff when we actively farmed, kind of wished I didn't but that was then.....Frank

If there is a clip on the end, it might be a belt canister for an M1919 MG. Some vehicle mounted Brownings used similar cans with closeable covers that clipped onto a tray on the MG mount.
