I came across an old wooden crate that is still sealed shut with the original metal banding. It's a 50lb crate of them and from what I can figure it's from the 1940s.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Would ir affect the value if I opened it?
Are the rods any good anymore?
Not sure if it is worth anything or not but thought it looked cool either way.

Looks like 'Ranite D' is still being sold today:

In that case I suspect the box itself is the most valuable/interesting bit
