Large Ex-Military Missile Storage Crate – Wooden Transit Box with Original Foam Interior

A substantial and genuinely fascinating piece of military history — a large ex-military wooden missile transit crate, built to transport and protect missile components during active service. The interior tells the real story: custom-cut white foam cradles and upright dividers, precision-shaped to hold cylindrical military components securely in place, with matching foam bolster strips lining the lid. This is not a generic crate — it was purpose-built for a specific job.

Constructed from solid pine with heavy-duty bolted and screwed joinery throughout, the crate sits on integral pallet feet — designed for forklift handling in the field. Toggle draw-bolt latches secure the lid on front and back (please note: one latch has a minor part missing but the crate closes securely). The natural pine finish is clean and in very good condition.

An extraordinary conversation piece — use it as a coffee table, a storage trunk, a display centrepiece, or simply let it sit in a room and do the talking. Perfect for a man cave, games room, office, or industrial-style interior.
