Antique Questions Forum / WWII ammunition box

« on: January 08, 2008, 12:54:57 am »

Hi again...Does anyone know anything about WWII items? I purchased an ammunition box from a 90 year old man at a garage sale for a dollar and he told me what it was. It is about the size of a foot locker but not as deep and has rope handles on each side. There are several numbers printed on the side and top of the box. The top is hinged. There isn't any cracks or splits in the wood and from the looks of it is is very old. Just wondering what kind of value if any this might have.

Antique Questions Forum / crocks found at garage sale

« on: January 07, 2008, 11:53:40 pm »

I found several crocks at a garage sale recently and have tried for hours to find any information on them on the internet. The first one is a two tone brown and cream butter crock that has no markings anywhere on the bottom or on the inside. There is a blue "3" printed on the white part of the crock and small handles on either side. The second one is a cream color with a crown and the number 3 inside the crown. I have seen several Robinson Ransbottom pieces with the same markings but can only find ones with the number 2 inside the crown. And lastly a small crock with one handle that is solid brown with the markings 11/2 USA on the bottom. It does not matter if they are antique or worth anything...I only paid $2 for each...just wanting some general info on the pieces.
