Murph,
I like the idea of a thread showing vintage and antique ammunition. I have boxes and shelves full of it. Like you said previously, most of it is soft point bullets. I do have some .219 zipper boxes in hollow point and mushroom bullet. But they are far from the direction of the original thread.
As I collected Winchester and Marlin rifles, I also started collecting vintage ammo. I picked up ammo to match the caliber of rifles and pistols that I have and just kept going.
Here is a sampling of some "not so common" boxes; i.e. you want find these at Bass Pro.
For the military/match shooters.
First, the Winchester Wimbledon Cup 30 Gov't 06 box with beautiful graphics. The ammo is nice also with Kopperklad bullets and nickel like cases-not sure what the metal is.
This is a Remington UMC match grade .30-06 box.
This is one of ten boxes that I have of some P.O. Ackley developed match grade cartridges in 300 Ackley Magnum. Ackley, IIRC, was trying to get the military to adopt this round in the early 1960's. Around the same time or slightly before the 300 Win Mag was developed. Weatherby had already developed his 300 magnum in 1944
