Default Older Winchester 32 ACP

I recently picked up this box of older Winchester 32 ACP and I'm wondering what timeframe it dates to and what it's worth. It is a full box. The lot number is shown below and I tried Googling it but didn't find much. Any help would be appreciated.

Thumbs up

My guess would be the 60's-- I have a few dozen of like boxes in 38Match WC. Value, well, somewhere someone collects everything- $20.00 - $40.00, depending who you talk to. A couple years back I found several bricks of 22's Match grade, in like boxes-- wonder what THOSE are worth today??? Yeah, I shoot them now and then.

Post 62 as it has the "child warning", I believe the yellow box stayed in use into the early 70's when Winchester switched to a similar pattern white box. A year or so ago these boxes were selling for $10 to $20, basically shooting value, probably twice that now. Not old or rare enough to have any real collector value.

Thanks guys. That basically confirms what I was thinking. Since its a full box I'll probably hold off on shooting them.

I used to buy them in that type of box for a Savage auto in the 60s.

With no zip code in the address it had to be pre 1964
