Been looking for a few of these up here in Nebraska and I think people are nuts on what they're worth. What's the going rate on something like this?

In part, it depends on what it was for, and on what’s stenciled on the crate. Something used for transporting a tripod won’t fetch as much as a crate once filled with grenades or mortar rounds.

I remember when the CMP would uncrate the cans of HXP they got, and throw all the wooden crates onto a pile that then got burned.

Last one I saw a couple months back at an estate sale was marked $10 and it appeared cleaner and less weathered looking than the one in your pic. IIRC, it was marked (2) 105mm How.
What prices are you seeing in Neb?

Seen a few for $30-50ish, and put up a WTB ad and got a bunch of hits with people asking what they're worth...which to me always translates to they hope it's a goldmine. I was thinking $10-15 range depending how clean.
