1942 Japanese box....what is it?

[blinky]

I hate to ask this as it seems many of the posts here are for translation requests....but........

It's a very well made box which I assume is for a piece of equipment as it has a serial number rather than some sort of ammunition box?

Any help would be very much appreciated and thank you!

I really am not comfortable with the "storage items" nomenclatures!


Hopefully Yoshiyuki-san can clean up my mess.

Hey Guy, thanks! That's been a big help, Unfortunately the box is empty....I guess someone didn't have need of the master of exciter pole coil

Hey, but it's a COOL box that you could use to store all your Japanese manuals or sword books, etc.

That really is the nice thing about these boxes, there are 101 used for them and they were built SOLID!
