Vintage .22 Ammo Collection

[ArchAngelCD]

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!!!

Mentioned Ward's in Post # 27. Been dealing with them for years.

I’ve got a few.

 

[AJ]

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.

 

[AJ]

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?

 

[ArchAngelCD]

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.

 

[AJ]

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!

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 record my vintage .22 ammo, but if I had your ammo, it would take me the rest of my life to record it! Of course, it would be nice to know what all you have.

Here are some I have collected over the years.

BRush, you have a lot of cool stuff, what kind is the ones in the last picture with the cat on the box?
Larry

 

[boykinlp]

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.

Drm50, that is because it is your old case! The only thing better is if you had thrown in your ammo back then!!

That is Tiger-Cat and is manufactured by Sovereign in Mexico.

AJ, I took a look in the dungeon this afternoon and decided that time is all I have other than my health. Digging into the dungeon for ammo is a bit like going on safari looking for tigers under trees. You would understand if you saw the dungeon.

I'll try to post a picture.

The dungeon is behind the curtain in picture #3. Pictures #1 & 2 show it as I was starting to enlarge the space. I still can't stand up in there.

Llance, that doesn't look all that bad, really.

I see open floor space. You need to get that filled also.

I agree, I could only wish for that much open space in my basement. Fill that bad boy up! lol

I just got a chance to look at this site for a very few minutes and something I thought was kinda cool. Under the CCI Commemorative Boxes were these. It seems they would sometimes make boxes to commemorate special occasions for some employees, like retirements of longtime employees, I guess. I wonder how many they made of each? I would assume they were never for sale to the public, just maybe for the families. Check these few out.
