    Fire grenades.
    I believe they were usually in a rack to protect them.
    At the General Store.... Maybe like this.

    A decal has been applied to the outside. An old box would have been painted directly on the wood.

    I think this is something new like you would find in say a Cracker Barrel type store.

    I'm sorry, but it SCREAMS Repro!!! New looking stain and distressing......it's a cute box though..........I'd put some Fatwood in it and put it not too close to the wood stove!!!! Something like that any way!!!
