robinb Posted February 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 12, 2019 It was repurposed by a USMC photographer. But what was it originally for? The markings are still pretty clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted February 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 12, 2019 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted February 12, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 12, 2019 Eric, I wonder if the date might be Showa 3rd Year, 11th month = November 1928? Under date: Nagoya Arsenal mark 車 may indicate for a cart, handcart, carriage, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted February 12, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 12, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted February 12, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 12, 2019 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) 一 Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
