An authentic early-to-mid 20th-century rustic pine shipping crate featuring bold stenciled typography for "Black & White" Blended Scotch Whisky. Produced for James Buchanan & Co. Ltd. of Glasgow, Scotland, this piece features historical shipping markings referencing "D C (S.A.) LTD DURBAN," indicating its original export journey to South Africa. Wrapped with original protective wiring reinforcement. Dimensions: 41.5cm l x 30cm w x 22cm h
Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear and character consistent with commercial shipping use. The wood displays a rich natural patina with light scuffing, minor surface chips, and slight splitting along the grain, while remaining structurally sound. Stenciled lettering on the main face is clearly legible; side panel export markings show moderate fading and weathering. Features intact original perimeter wire binding with minor rust.
