Vintage .22 Ammo Collection
I posted this thread a few years ago, and got a lot of cool responses.
Vintage .22 ammo - WOW!!
Instead of bumping an old thread, I thought I would start a new one and see what you folks can show pictures of now. The coolest thing that I have added to my collection is a vintage Remington display that I got a couple of year's ago. Even though it is a Remington display, I put all my current collection in it for now.

I think I fired about a million of those Ted Williams, Sears rounds when I was a kid! My folks would always put some in my Christmas stocking. I bet if I go through some of my old hunting clothes hanging in the barn, I will find a box in a pocket.

Your post brought back warm memories if a USA long gone.
I ponder the happy faces of the kids on the upper East Side of Manhattan on Christmas Day.... look mom, dad got us ammo....

Some serious .22 collectors have thousands of boxes. If you want to make a career of collecting something with an endless variety of different specimens, .22 cartridge box collecting is for you.

Nice display. If I am not mistaken that box of .22 long is pretty rare.
Nice and small - easy to display.

Nice! I have a somewhat modest vintage ammo display myself - especially in regards to 22RF. I have never actually bought a single box but have acquired many them from "old timers", guys who are just shooting at the Range (I've swapped them with modern 22 ammo as they did not care about the age - they just wanted to shoot). A few bricks I have came from my Dad that just never got around to opening up that particular package, and some were just given to me when I purchased 22RF guns.
Pretty neat to look at - and the ones I have fired all went bang.

CLASSIC12, what timeframe are your boxes from? The Swiss boxes are kinda plain aren't they? I like the differences of the US boxes. I wish they were like shotgun shell boxes. Many of them are like works of art.

Yes, I might be off base, but I think CCI still makes a 22 Long. I am pretty sure it has been out of production by other companies for quite a while. For some reason I had it in my head that if you came across vintage .22 Long it was a buy due to rarity, but I could very easily have dreamed it as well!

I added a few bricks laying around and you sure you need that display?
I know a guy that could maybe fill it up.

Full boxes of old ammo have always interested me. My humble little collection was picked up at gun shows and gun shops in years past. I don’t think I ever spent more than $6 or $7 for any of them. I would hate to see the prices of this kind of stuff nowadays.

VERY NICE Paul, you should have mercy on me and just send me what you have so I CAN fill it up properly!😂😂 I thought a few of you folks might have a similar display to show. I wish I could go back about 60-70 years, and gather some of the cool ammo or knife displays that were in every hardware or sporting goods store at the time.

I am not sure, maybe sixties ?
Yes I agree they are plain and business like. Probably because they were made at a state arsenal.

Don't see a lot of the Concorde boxes.
Primers? Remington or Winchester?

Great Scot, AJ, your collection is quite impressive! Which are your favorites? Also, I am interested in your piece of furniture your .22 collection is in. Is it a repurposed piece or custom piece? Please show us a better picture of it. Thanks.

I am slowly working on filling it. Then I'll known MY collection is done.  As DWalt said, you could spend a career, as well as a fortune, and fill a warehouse collecting vintage .22 ammo from what I've seen. Keep the pictures coming! I know with a forum the size of this one, there must be a ton of you with vintage .22 ammo.

This was a store case for sewing thread. I bought it and took out the portions that held spools of thread. Holds quite a few boxes, most are full so it is quite heavy. The large drawer on the bottom hold larger boxes like .22 Mag. Antique collectors would be upset with me......

These are some that I have. There are probably some more around somewhere. Ammo is very dirty to shoot.

Nice display. If you do dust use the picture to put them back in. My sisters and brother came to visit and my wife spent two days dusting my rooms. Nothing and I repeat nothing made it back in the exact same place!

I am always adding to the grouping. Friend owns a gun shop and buys estates. He only cares about the guns and newer ammo. I make reasonable offers and get stuff. The range officers know I collect and give me odd old boxes and stuff that show up from time to time.

I was digging through the box today.
Taking out some 22 long to shoot up.
This stuff is some of the oldest.

I have a sealed "brick" (actually paper wrapped, not cardboard) of the Russian Junior .22 LR, but I have no idea if it has brass or steel cases, as I don't want to open it to find out. Some of the Junior I had from many years ago (not the same as the foregoing) had steel cases. Very low velocity from a rifle, far subsonic, around 800 ft/sec as I remember.

You mean like this one? Mine has "WITH BRASS CASES" printed above the JUNIOR. These are yellow boxes.
All of the green boxes are steel cased. The Surok boxes are marked V 10=450 M/S. 450 M/S = 1476 FT/S.

Mine is the blue/gray label, probably steel cases. Back sometime in the late 1980s, you could buy Juniors pretty cheap at gun shows, seems I paid something around 75 cents per box. The sealed carton I have I bought at the peak of the ammo shortage around 2012, think I paid about $30 for the carton.

Here in Florida, we were paying $20.00 a brick over 15 years ago. Unlike a friend of mine, I just buy stuff and throw it on the shelf. He records everything he buys, how much he paid for it, where he bought it, when he bought and probably records things I never ever think about. I have a bunch of Polish .22 Short ammo that is in paper wrapped bricks and we paid $5.00 for them a while back, maybe 10 years ago.

Instead of bumping an old thread, I thought I would start a new one and see what you folks can show pictures of now. The coolest thing that I have added to my collection is a vintage Remington display that I got a couple of year's ago. Even though it is a Remington display, I put all my current collection in it for now.

That looks like the same model Remington case I had. I sold it but still have all the old 22s. This should be prime time to collect. All the old ammo is now showing up at shows.

Hay @Rush, is that all you have? I was expecting a lot more! (Just kidding of course)
That is one neck of a collection, thanks for sharing it with us.
***EDIT***
Oh my goodness, I just saw the collection @Classic12 posted. That is also one neck of a collection. Very nice guys!!!

For those of you truly interested in .22 box collecting, you should visit the Wards Collectibles site. You can find out everything you would ever want to know there. See: .22 Box Identification Guide for Collectors

A couple of store display spinners that I picked up. Have a mixture of boxes in them. I am an indiscriminate collector. Mostly like .22's though.

Some of my bricks of .22's. Have about 80 more bricks on a shelf up high. Will get a picture of it if I can.

I'd like to show some off but I don't think I want to spend the next three days digging them out and putting them back. What I can get to easily is not as interesting as what ya'll have posted. Beautifull displays gentleman, or ladies, as the case may be.

Llance, get them out and take pictures. It is cold out, what else you got to do?

I don't think I have any old boxes of .22lr ammo but I have a good choice of stuff that has been available for the past 15 years or so.

Bricks on the Shelf. What ammo shortage? It has gotten to the point that I can not buy ammo cheaper than I have in the boxes and bricks of my collection. If it comes down to it this all becomes shootable!
