Replica WWII Army Foot Locker

Nice replica- very authentic! Nice colour.

-- Ivan, Croatia, Wooddicted

I do remember having one of those. In basic training your clothing had to be properly folded and displayed in an exact manner in them. Failure to do so resulted in disciplinary action….usually something like 20 push ups or KP.

You don’t quite have the green color correct and I don’t remember them having a piano hinge. In later years I used similar boxes for my camping and hunting gear. It made it very easy to keep the equipment packed ready to go and easy to load into the truck.

WW II Era? Pretty sure I used one of those up until 2011-ish when they got replaced with Rubbermaid plastic versions. Anyway, yours looks to be built MUCH better than the originals. Nice Work.

Have mine still, does not look as good but still functional and in one piece. Nice work, takes me back..

-- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way.

Very nice! When my mother-in-law passed away, we discovered a footlocker with her husband’s WWII stuff. Included was the Thanksgiving dinner menu for one year, a newspaper from the day after Hiroshima, socks, shirts, and a color photo ID from Los Alamos. And a couple pair of shoes.
Your footlockers will be appreciated for generations.
