Default Are any of these valuable?

I found some old ammo lurking in a box today. Anything of value?
More pics at photobucket(if I can get it to work right).
All are full boxes.
Thanks for your time.

I'd think minimum of $35 on the 45s and $15 on the 22s, but people who collect old ammo should easily go beyond that.

I have collected old 22 ammo for a while now. The Winchester is quite common and before the ammo shortage $5 was the going price for the Winchester. The CCI is an early version that sold for $8-$10 before the shortage. I collect all ammo, and have found that older handgun ammo sells for far less than their rifle counterpart with shotgun shells at the bottom of the scale. Most handgun ammo sells for about shooting price. I just picked up a first years, pre warning box of Remington brand 44 Magnums with mint cartridges from the local gun shop. I paid $15 for it. Neat items you have, and I would not shoot any of it. Put it up on a shelf to admire with the thought if times got tough and the wolves were at the door, you always have this ammo as a back up.

Any idea if .30 carbine ammo from 1967 made by The Universal Carbine Company is worth more than ammo value? It was bought when my dad bought his Universal Carbine. I didn't know they manufactured ammo. Got some .308 soft point ammo stored away from 67 also. Can't remember the brand, but I tried it at the range and we laughed at the $4.25 price it was marked.
