Seems to say Taibihinbako (隊備品箱 * read right to left) Box for Unit Equipment

 

Is the date burnt into the wood? Has a couple extra lines there but can only imagine that it's Showa 20 (1945)

Eric, I wonder if the date might be Showa 3rd Year, 11th month = November 1928?

 

Under date:

 

Nagoya Arsenal mark

 

may indicate for a cart, handcart, carriage, etc.

I thought of that Rod but would have expected the one to be to the left of the ten in that case. It is certainly possible though.

I hope I'm not being a pain but it seems clear to me, that is unless I'm missing something.

 

As per the crate: 11th month, 3rd year of Showa

 

十 (月 month) 三 和昭 (Year)

 

Rod
