The child safety warning was required by federal law in 1962.
It really doesn’t have collector value and a 50 round box of .45 Colt is pretty pricey, even in normal times. Shoot it! It works just fine and makes big holes.

Early 60s would be my guess.

If you provide the lot number stamp, I can probably tell you the exact day and year it was loaded. W-W headstamps and child warning would make it no older than the early 1960s. Box condition is not that great, also not old enough to have collectible status even if the condition were better. In most common calibers, the more valuable ammunition boxes will be full, date from before WWII, and be in high condition. Don't feel guilty about shooting it up if you wish.
