I found this item at an estate sale this weekend and it was labled as Military Field Portable Bucket. But I haven't had much luck researching the item online. I would love any help you all can provide me in learning more about this item.
Thank you for all help and assistance you may be able to provide.

I found on WorthPoint an item that sold in 2008 that is described as an Air Field Approach Light Set. No photo, but some of the numbers you list are the same.
Item No. 14
T.O. No. 08-20-4
Spec No. AN-S-2
Contract No. W-535-AC-27432
Property of US Government
Not sure if this is a container for a air field light, but some numbers and letters match.

Thanks. Does anyone have any additional insight into what this item might be or what it was use for?
