Harley Davidson Parts in a Box
Mystery Wood Box with OEM Harley Davidson Logo
|
Ray is wondering what it could have been used for and believes it is Genuine Original Harley Davidson OEM equipment parts packaging of some kind. What is most interesting about this Harley Davidson parts box is the connectors attached to it.
Take a look for yourself. What the heck is this? If you think you know what this Mystery Harley Davidson Parts Box or Crate was use for, please help to satisfy our extreme curiosity.

Hi, I work in Advertising, but I am a antique Harley Fan. This box is most likely a Dealer made display.
The Hangers world hold it up vertical in a shop window, most likely to the right- having the logo displaying left. The
buttons on the bottom, were for lights. Back then it would have been a shadow box design- So the lid would have been carved
out to display a image or message. That is a really a cool find.

I’m thinking that the two connectors on the box are old pushbutton type switches. The springs coming out the
front of the one and the two wire connections on the back support that theory. What they were used for is anyone’s
guess. Good luck trying to unravel the mystery!!

The decal is the same as used on the 1908 to 1932 bikes and were available to buy and put on anything. my guess is somebody
made it using a Harley tank decal. All the packaging I have seen (even from the early years) has Milwaukee USA on them.
I have never seen any early packaging using a tank decal. That tank decal was recycled and made a appearance on a bike again in
the early 80's so without tracing the owners of this box back it will probably remain a mystery.

It appears to be a WWII, contract parts crate for overseas shipping. Those hooks look familiar.

I think the electrical connector was added by someone later for powering a electric lamp inside for keeping baby chickens warm.

Here's a photo shot of the connector of some sort inside the Harley Parts Box. Now, what in the heck was this connector hooked up to, and for what purpose?
