Bob Grundy Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 This box has AMC and 1941 embossed on the lid and in the recess M104 with an I underneath. The inside is chocolate colour and the outside a dirty white which is probably an addition. What was is used for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hi Bob, Looks like it could be a 25 pounder fuze box, see here: http://westland.nl/product/n117box1 AMC is probably Austin Motor Company, who made ammo boxes and jerricans.

Bob Grundy Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thank you both for that info. It would be nice to have an Austin but I will have to manage with my Rolls Royce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnixartillery Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The M104 was used for a number of applications throughout the war and much later on after, My research has led me to believe that the 'M' implies Miscellaneous with the use of different inserts.
