<~~~~~~~~~~~~~ doesn't wanna know what gonna happen in that excercise bike
I have know idea what path you been on Chris.
Doubt its a war item.
It was made in Germany, so that limits the years of manufucture.
Door 1.Philadelphia and the number has to do with what it was used for and by whom.
Door 2. The container contained a product made in Germany and shipped to Phialdelphia.
And it’s in English????
Just checking in, no more fever, little congestion to none, sore legs and tired, sleeping 16 to 18 hours a day..
Wife has totally recovered and feeling good for the last 6 days.. little rain shower and clouds moved in to cool us down to a meal 80 degrees..
Hopefully tomorrow morning I can think about pulling Victoria outside for the first time in years

Here's an interesting one for your collector friend.
I no longer own it, but its neat because of there appear to be three languanges on it.
He thinks it may be an early 1960s late 50s synthetic oil or chemical can. 30L equates to almost 8 gallons. And would make sense as Germany was almost all synthetic oils, chemicals and such during the later years of the war
Export item. Sure.
I have wood salad bowls stamped Made in Occupied Japan
In fact I can't think of anything I have from overseas made for export that is not in English.
Happy moment Mike keep us updated.Just checking in, no more fever, little congestion to none, sore legs and tired, sleeping 16 to 18 hours a day..

Oh I just went the college degree route and regretting it.
Yea I hear ya. Best advice I've heard is don't regret things like that and don't fall into the trap that you must make use of your degree or whatever past experience you've have in field from this point on. I'm right there. Oddly I'm back doing that, but I'm enjoying it, just didn't expect any more opportunities.
I know how to tell what might have been inside, open the lid lick the bottom of the jug and should come up with some kinda clue.
Never mind just a brain fart.
Powder crate. Originally anyway, would have been sealed in the tin spam can. Other languages would be either Swedish or Norwegian.
LOL.I know how to tell what might have been inside, open the lid lick the bottom of the jug and should come up with some kinda clue.

Kid told my buddy at work that he put gasoline in the skid-steer instead of diesel.
He's not sure if he's pulling his leg but doesn't think so.
I said open the fuel cap and smell it. If there's gas in it you'll know right away. He looks at me all serious and says he's not sure he can smell the difference. Oh boy!
So my brother, 2 weeks before his wedding. Grabs a random gas can from the farm and proceeds to pour its contents onto the smoldering brush pile. It went whoosh , resulting in second degree burns to his legs. I got blamed for it. I was like, anyone that’s ever been on this farm knows you don’t assume what’s in any container regardless of color. You gotta smell or look at it. He did neither. Thing was full of 5 gallons of gas not the kerosene he expected…
Well appreciate everyone's input . Thanks for clearing it up.
Ouch

It's a box for loose powder, not fixed ammo.
Pulver is powder in German, plus I beleive that's the waffen
Kaste is "throw" in Norwegian.
"explosiv vara farglit" may be Swedish
So we have German words, Finnish words and Norwegian words and possibly Swedish.
It's a military Tower of Babel!
I have some notes somewhere with partial translations, but the ratatoille is done as is the sausages and rice.
My grandchild did that and set himself on fire 4 months in the hospital with skin drafts and still going through treatment after 8 years.

Last year they had to fix his ankle.
Yummy… not
Fred, That is in no way good. I have seen that before... I still shudder when I see it..... Skeeered......
Somewhere I have a few boxes of wooden bullets with the N. insignia on them.
