antique American Cyanamid dynamite crate

This early 20th-century American industrial shipping crate is marked American Cyanamid Company, Explosives Department, with original stenciling for standard gelatin dynamite. The bold typography and shield emblem contrast against a richly time-darkened surface, while exposed finger joints and plank construction reinforce its straightforward utility. The aged wood carries depth and presence, making it a compelling storage piece or industrial accent within a layered interior.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. Surface wear, darkened wood, edge chipping, and minor age-related separations are present. Stenciling shows expected fading.
