HELP ID 50 Cal ammo box
I am cleaning up around the shop and found this. Looks like a 50 Cal ammo box for a plane. Can anyone tell me what plane and what it might be worth. Thanks Lee

It's similar to the ammunition box es used in the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star.

Re: HELP ID 50 Cal ammo box
Joe, thanks for the info. What is a reasonable price, fair to you and me? I am pretty good at finding things but not smart enough to know what they are or how much they are worth. I can ship it or you can pick it up here in Livermore CA. Lee

I thought it would look nice to display with my large scale Turbo Jet Radio Control F-80. Am lukewarm on it. Maine is one giant step away.

You are right on about the F-80. Found a picture of a crew loading one of the ammo boxes near the nose of the plane. Thanks

Re: HELP ID 50 Cal ammo box
You two (Scrounger, Joel) are both good guys so you should be able to work out the price. But FYI, if it helps, I sell ammo cans of that nature in the $100-200 range, although you will see them with much larger prices listed for sale out there.
