補用品格納缶 九〇式爆発尖二型用

Hello,

I have had this box for many years. I am assuming the text is Japanese. Would someone be so kind as to offer a translation? Unfortunately, I do not know any Japanese.

Thank you in advance.

This box held some kind of accessary part(s) for the detonator of a type-90 aerial torpedo (dropped from torpedo airplanes).

Thank you for the reply and translation.

My mother had this in a drawer for seventy years.

Thanks for the additional info!

Have you ever opened it?

I don't think any explosive material is in that can because it's for a detonator, not a bomb or torpedo itself, but be careful just in case.

The box is empty.

The top of the box has a paper label attached inside. I've included another image.

The box is small - 3 x 2 x 1.25 inches, maybe tin.
