Photo View: (7220) ORIGINAL WINCHESTER MODEL 1895 SHIPPING CRATE

Really neat heavy finger-jointed wooden crate measuring 11-5/8 x 11-5/8 x 43-3/4 inches. Each end is labelled "10 Winchester Carbines Model 1895" in black, with the W logo & trademark info printed in red. These markings are heavy, stamped into the wood. The caliber "30 ARMY" & some sort of an order number (hard to read) were printed lighter, apparently as the case was filled. Inside are some dividers for the guns. Overall crate is in very good condition. The dividers are in as is condition. Stapled to the side of the crate is a folded piece of paper which appears to have the following serial numbers on it: 401929, 401979, 402053, 402069, 402107, 402243, which would date the case to 1921. A slip of plastic was later stapled over the paper to protect it.
