Offered here is a very rare original 1890's wooden box top from a 25 Pound Box of Giant Powder manufactured by the Giant Powder Company, Consolidated in Giant, California. Stenciled as being sent to the Mina Mining Company via Reno, Nevada. Measures 9.0 x 13.0. The Giant Powder Company, Consolidated, was created was established in 1892 after the Giant Powder Plant was destroyed by an explosion, leaving the many orders for explosives in limbo. The Giant Powder Company merged with the nearby Safety Nitro Powder Company which had the plant but few orders and created the Giant Powder Company, Consolidated. Rare to find a 25 pound box, let alone a well stenciled lid with a mining company destination. Acquired with other explosive boxes and ends from a well known Reno Nevada Geologist and collector, now sadly passed. Likely a box top found on one of his many ventures into a Nevada underground mine. Will display quite well on any wall or shelf. Thanks for looking!
