This original vintage wooden shipping box from the Atlas Powder Company of Wilmington, Delaware, is a unique and collectible piece of industrial history. The long side panels feature bold black stenciling that reads Atlas Powder Co, Dangerous, alongside an official ICC fourteen shipping stamp. One short end displays the classic company globe logo, while the opposite end details the product batch markings including fifty pounds and Exdyn. Built with heavy-duty finger-jointed corners and solid wood sides, this rectangular box shows an authentic, aged patina with natural wear and staining that highlights its historical utility. It serves as an exceptional conversation piece for collectors of mining memorabilia, industrial history, or rustic farmhouse decor. 31”w
