Not sure what you want to know?

I buy older ammo boxes (with or without) ammo when I can get it cheap. A lot of time the ammo in the box is reloads.

Not sure what you want to do with it. I use mine with my gun photos.

You should probably do a search on completed auctions on gunbroker to see if you have anything specal. I've sold some ammo on GB that was worth some $$, but had probably only paid a few bucks for.

This website has a lot of good info.

Only two things I could really say:

1) Any of those boxes with original ammunition is more valuable as a collectible than as shooting ammo.

2) Per the above, do not open or handle the boxes or ammunition any more than you must, particularly the boxes.

I am not a collector but those who are freak out over some of the most seemingly insignificant things, and it makes a real difference in value to them.

Default Guessing but....

That 6.5 looks like 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser ammo boxed up for Italy?

The yellow Winchester Power Point ammo looks a lot like mid to late 60s ammo my Grandfather used in his .32 Winchester Mod 94 (wish I had that rifle)

Nice looking boxes and as said up thread, don't mess with the boxes too much.
