Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors old winchester wooden rifle box ?

How far back do you go when they shiped in wooden boxes? it reads 25-35 on bottom of box. Winchester Carbines Modal 1894 on the side.

Pre World War II perhaps into the later 1940's or early 1950's.

I was at a rummage sale onetime and they had a wooden box full of paper back books for $.10 a piece. The wooden box was an old Winchester crate for M94's. It had the information painted on the end of the crate that I believe said it held 10 M94's.

I asked if I bought the whole crate of books I could take the crate also and she said sure. I think it was like $8.00 for all the books. On the way home I stopped at St. Vincent de Paul and gave them all the books and sold the crate a couple weeks later for $100!

Thanks for the info this was a crate for 25-35s but when i recived it was cut down and not a full crate im glad it was given to me so i am not out any$$.
