Mystery green fiberglass crate.

[Edwood7]

I have had this green crate for a few years now. It was in my old army base, I used it to pack all my gear in it when they sent me to work to the north.

Does any one know what it was used for originally ?

I've had seen these cases come into my warehouse from time to time while I was in the USAF. Most of that size carried some sort of electric rack system or something similar. I tried searching the numbers on the case and came up with squat.

Pelican cases are dusts proof, water proof up to 30 ft depth, high impact resistance (you can run a car over it and it will still be in one piece), chemical proof, and backed by their unconditional lifetime guarantee. Also used in the military:

Yours is much larger Et. But the grain texture of the composite fibers are much visible after years of service?

I got those infos from a local supplier whose main customers are divers and cameraman.

In case you feeling a little back-country, try this :

ECS Composites of Grants Pass, Oregon manufactures rack-style cases for electronic equipment for military and similar hard-use sort of transportation users. Your case originally held some sort of electronic device. My GUESS wouldbe communications equipment.

USAFSS here too....S2 usually refers to military intelligence (inset joke) .... WT could be for wireless telegraph ( miljargon for radio)... could the letters above WT be CW?...continuous wave for Morse radio receiver/xmtr

Interesting new part of the story on this box. I called up my old army friend today, that was with me on my time at that base. He recalls that box coming from a weapons safe hose that once belonged to Amado Carrillo Fuentes, a very infamous drug lord of the 90´s. He was called the lord of the sky’s, because that was his main way of getting drugs to the US. I wonder if this box held radar equipment or something. With the info I’m getting from you guys it might be that this thing has a history
.

Amado Carrillo Fuentes (December 17, 1956 – July 3, 1997), born in Guamuchilito, Navolato, Sinaloa, was a Mexican drug lord who seized control of the Juárez Cartel after assassinating his boss Rafael Aguilar Guajardo.Amado Carrillo became known as "El Señor de Los Cielos" (Lord of the Skies) because of the large fleet of jets he used to transport drugs. He was also known for laundering over US$20 million via Colombia to finance his huge fleet of planes. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration described Carrillo as the most powerful drug trafficker of his era.

He died in a Mexican hospital after undergoing extensive plastic surgery to change his appearance. In his final days Carrillo was being tracked by Mexican and U.S. authorities. He is regarded as the richest criminal ever by some sources which state his estimated net-worth as US$ 25 billion
