Incredibly rare solid, quarter-sawn oak storage box for hot or cold meals. Used to transport meals to workers in the field or woods. Made by The Caloric Stove Company of Janesville, Wisconsin.




This is 100% original and was made in Janesville Wisconsin. All original including the decal on the front. I have never seen another one of these objects. They could be used for hot or cold meals either already plated and stacked or soups and stews could be carried in bulk. This one was probably used for feeding the loggers here in northern Wisconsin. They could also be used for feeding guys working on a chain gang or for a giant picnic. Quarter sawn oak with original wire closers. It also has heavy ball bearing style casters. Size is 15 x 41 x 16 tall. This is a very heavy object but can be shipped Greyhound. Shipping cost is an estimate only. This would make a great coffee table or put geraniums in it on a sun porch.  Available for purchase here
