Original paint remains on the sides of the crate.  Intriguingly hand painted on the end opposite to the Sharps Rifle stenciling is lettering indicating that the crate may have originally been used to ship "Hall Carbines with rod Bayonets & Jenk's Rifles".  It is rare to find these crates intact as most were broken up for firewood.  Dimensions: 57" x 17" x 12".
