Hello,
Does anyone have an idea as to what was in this box? Thanks in advance for any help.

A couple of Type 15 bomb fuses?

Not sure I'm reading your box correctly i.e.; from right to left, Type 15 or left to right, Type 63. Upper right side.

Just thought I'd give it a try, good luck with it Daniel.

Best, Rod

Most likely... 4th year type, 15 cm howitzer related.

After a little more digging. My Japanese needs work.

Very nice example.

It also states that 2 rounds per box.

ニ箇 (Ni Ko) - Two Pieces.

I've seen another one for Type 96 as well.
