U.S. Army 10-Cap Blasting Machine – White-Rodgers Electric Co. – Military Demolition Equipment

Original U.S. Army 10-Cap Blasting Machine manufactured by White-Rodgers Electric Company of St. Louis, Missouri. These hand-operated blasting machines were used by military engineers and demolition personnel to initiate electric blasting caps during training, construction, obstacle clearing, and controlled demolition operations.

The data plate is marked:

“U.S. Army Blasting Machine – 10 Cap”
White-Rodgers Electric Co., St. Louis, MO

This example retains its original T-handle operating mechanism, metal housing, and identification plate. The housing shows expected service and storage wear, including scattered finish loss, dust accumulation, oxidation, and age-related handling marks. The data plate remains present and legible.

Military blasting machines such as this represent an interesting piece of U.S. Army engineering and demolition history. They are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in complete condition with intact identification plates.

A desirable display item for collectors of military engineering equipment, demolition gear, communications equipment, and U.S. Army field equipment.
