Default Winchester 111 Primers

Does anyone have an idea how old these primers are? They are packed in wooden trays. And yes they do go bang.

Most likely late '50s or very early '60s. At any rate I would not shoot them. Send them to me and I'll "dispose" of them for you

Those are even older than the ones I finally used up (late 1970's) last year!
