This is an artillary shell carrying basket and four shell canisters. I purchased these 30+ years ago and was told that these baskets were used in Europe during World War II. The dealer that sold these claimed they were used by the Finland Military, but I have seen others claim they were used by Germany. The dealer claimed these were straped to mules...two baskets each side to carry through the mountains. Not sure if the story is true, but a neat story. This lot includes the wicker basket and four tubes. The basket measures 23\" x 22\" x 6 1/4\". The tubes measure 24.5\" with a 5\" diameter. The tubes have rubber gaskets in the lids which make them watertight and great for camping, fishing, etc. Overall, everything is in excellent condition.Shipping in the US is $45. We will not ship this outside of the US.
