WWII US Army wood Carpenters trunk chest dated 1942 Castlewood manufacturing company Kentucky

Picked this up locally in Portsmouth as thought it would be great to go in a collection or on a vehicle for shows. It's empty but pretty good nick with all original hinges and printing etc. Would like £75 collection Portsmouth or can post for cost. Anyone talk me through how to add pics please?! Keeps saying too large!

Pic size is limited to 250 kilobytes. Resize your photos to below that and should be no problem. If like me, you took photos with your phone and tried to upload them you'll find they are often in excess of 1 megabyte or over four times as too high of resolution.

Hope that helps

Jubbs,
How are your pictures stored - on your computer? In you phone?
Once you get them on the computer you'll need a program to resize them, like Adobe Photoshop or equal. There are online platforms as well.
Would love to see the photos.
What are the measurements of the box?

Nice,

I need one of these. I'm a boatbuilder by trade and I like old tools as much as old green things. However I live in New Zealand. I figure out something....

Could I see a close up of the contents list?

Thanks

Roy
