Very neat, your photo looks like your feet are really small or the boxes really big. Thanks for showing us, looks like you scored big.

You have very good friends.

Hey, Congrats on your score !! Good looking stuff.
I also collect old ammo.
Mostly .22's as they don't take up as much space.
But i do have some odds and ends as well.
These are all full boxes of ammo. They hold their
value a little better with all original ammo in good shape.

Sorry about the ****** pictures with glare.

I have an empty 250 round box of the Remington .22 Short gallery. Mine is the only one I've ever seen, but they should be fairly common. I have far too many old .22 boxes to display, most are packed up where no one can see them.

I've got a lot of old ammo myself. Also have a couple hundred
old bass plugs. Have several Bass Orenos. They made them for
years. They are like guns, the old ones are not the same as the
newer ones. Some of those boxes have the color or finish on
the end. The most common color to run across on the old ones
is white/ red head. These are not hard to find, unless you are
looking for a mint one NIB.

Kim..l collect old ammo/boxes..Seems most are worth about $50.

Some maybe a BEN...Good score

I accumulate old ammo as well.
unfortunately I don't have a cool display like Chuck just boxes stacked deep.
This is the Rimfire box



Just last week I had a Savage Indian wanting to stay.

kinda funny seeing all this as i remember shooting a lot of the brands i see in the pics

Nice for show cases but after having three misfires out of five trigger pulls on a 30 cal M1 last week, I'm convinced old ammo is for show only.

As a side note, what do you guys do with shell cases that still have an unfired primer? I've pulled the bullet and clumpy powder but the primer is still "live". I'm not comfortable with trying to push it out. Should I just throw them in a fire or what? I don't want to just throw them in the trash.

I have 2 yellow boxes of 1960s Winchester standard velocity 32-20 that I was thinking of putting in the auction linked but maybe it's not old enough or rare enough yet.

The box has a $6.00 store sticker on it but otherwise the boxes are in excellent condition as is the soft point and lubaloy cartridges inside.

These and the 1960s 22lr ammo I have all have the child warning on the boxes.

Does your box look like this?

No, my box is probably from the late 1940s - early 1950s, about like the one pictured above. Yours is probably from around the 1960s - 70s. I don't know, but would guess those .22 shooting gallery loads haven't been manufactured for a long time. I don't remember the last .22 shooting gallery I've seen, maybe back in the 1960s. They were a standard midway feature at carnivals, circuses, etc. at one time, usually with Winchester pump guns. They had frangible composition bullets, made of plastic and iron powder, that broke up on impact with the steel plate backstops and targets. They would often throw sparks when they hit the targets. Back in the 1950s Remington sold them to the public in 28 round flat packs wrapped in cellophane. They were called "Remington Rockets," and full boxes of them are now fairly desirable to cartridge collectors. There was also the same thing sold under the Peters brand name, but I don't remember what they were called.

Here's one drawer at my place stuffed full. One of these days I'm going to figure out how to display it!

I got a 250 count box of "spatter-less" Remington Gallery shorts in a Red and White box.
Back says 15gr composite bullet, louder report and sparks for more entertainment value.
