WWII ammo can???

I just picked up a United 50 cal. ammo can with the flaming bomb, side lock. My question is, is this just old run of the mill or something worth hanging on to more than a regular can?

I'm interested to know also. I picked one up at a yard sale a few years ago. Never did any research to see what it may be worth. To me its worth keeping just because I don't see them very often.

No more than $20. Probably less. It doesn't look WW2 and they are only worth 20. http://store.colemans.com/cart/ammo-box-wwii-50-cal-p-221.html

Thanks for the link. It matches that one. Paid $5 so I'm good no matter.

Cool, couldn't tell exactly from the pics if it was the same or not. You have a piece of history anyhow.
