Default 26.5mm Flares

i was reading an old thread about the S&W 1.5"/37mm Gas Guns (very interesting) and thought about this old box buried in my ammo stash. I used to have a few old flare pistols, mostly for the 4th of July, but I sold them over time. This is what is left of the guns, ammo and holsters I had. Any ideas as to current value? I plan on taking them to the next Expo show the 20th.

When I could find some I was paying upwards of $50.00 a box. Haven't even seen any in awhile, wouldn't be surprised if the price has escalated from there.

That makes me smile. 20-25 years ago they were $15-30/box of ten around here. $20 was pretty much the norm at the Farmer's Market show then.

Fun to shoot, but watch out for debris getting in your eyes.
