38-44 S&W Special | Remington "Dogbone" box, 1930s. This rare caliber was adapted to, and for use only in, Smith & Wesson's heavy .38-44 revolver. While the box has some flaws (see right end, top) it retains all of its clean, original "REM-UMC 38-44 SPL" headstamped cartridges. The box is complete with good color and remains a highly sought-after and collectible box! (Full & Exc condition would be priced closer to $500) | $325 |

28 Ga. 1st run. Dallas address, Very Rare!! |
Bismuth Cartridge Co. Error box: top shows "Premium Target Load" but front says "Premium Upland Game Load". I personally bought these directly out of the store-room of their Dallas executive offices in the 1990 and was told that this was only a trial run and only 10 boxes were made. To my knowledge they never went forward with it. | $185 | |
.410 1st run. Dallas address, |
Bismuth Cartridge Co. I personally bought these directly out of the store-room of their Dallas executive offices in the 1990 and was told that this was a trial run and only 20 boxes were made. They are somewhat over-sized and this box was rejected. | $165 | |

$165 | |
32-40 (HighVelocity) | Imperial (Canada). Ca 1980s, this loading states "Muzzle Velocity 1540 fps", a true HV load that makes it the best hunting load that can be found for this great cartridge which was first cataloged--in black powder, of course--in the 1880s, a hundred years earlier than this offering! | $95 |

256 Win-Magnum | Winchester-Western. Clean box with clean ammo. This is a caliber (along with .25-20) that seems to have "dried up" out there. It's not a matter of price but availability--I doubt I'll be able to replace these anytime soon! (Have 2) | $175 | |

32 Win Special | Western Super-X. Early/mid-1960s, last style "pure Western" box before adoption of the "Winchester-Western" Logo. Box and ctdgs are minty, only a price-tag removal stain keeps it from being fully MINT! (Have 2) | $85 | |
2/10/24 | |||
22 Savage High Power | Savage Arms Corp, in the much desired and highly displayable "Big Chief", Chicopee Falls box (in many other labelings the Indian head was appreciably smaller). Ctdgs all original and clean with "S.A. Corp. 22 S. H-P" headstamp. Though showing some shelf wear, the box is very tight and unrepaired, EXC cond with good color! | $125 | |
25-35 (Bargain Bin) |
Western Super-X. Ca late-'40s/early-'50s. Solid box w/ good color but ctdg, while all Super-X, 6 have oval primers and 14 w/ flat prs. CHEAP! | $45 sold |

300 Savage | Savage Arms Corp, in the much desired and highly displayable "Big Chief", early Utica NY box (in many labelings the Indian head was appreciably smaller). Ctdgs all original and clean with "300 Savage S.A. Corp." headstamp. While there's an attempt at an old price erasure (lower left) the box is very tight and unrepaired, EXC cond and color! | $135 sold |

2/9/24 | |||
25 Remington | Remington Kleanbore. Very clean 1950's box (last run) of this never popular, always scarce cartridge! Actually far rarer in Remington than Winchester/Western, EXC cond! | $125 | |
284 Win | Winchester-Western, 150 gr SP. Intro'd in their M88 lever gun in 1964, this was a cartridge with capabilities which far exceeded its popularity. And now getting very hard to locate!! | $145 | |
307 Win |
Winchester-Western, 1980's "Horse & Rider" box, 150 gr SP. Scarce caliber,
introduced in 1982 and only chambered in Winchester's Model '94, this ctdg
rapidly became obsolete and has become very hard to find! |
$85 | |
35 Remington | Savage Arms Corp. Early Utica address. Box is solid and unrepaired but shows some even fading. Ctdgs are clean and appear native to the box. This "Indian Chief" graphic remains among the most collectible of all cartridge boxes!! | $110 | |
375 Win Big Bore, 250 gr | Winchester-Western, the original Big Bore box in which Winchester intro'd this caliber and the "Big Bore" Model 94 chambered for it. Shows some shelf wear but this caliber in the early and desirable Big Bore labeling has suddenly become very hard to find, especially in this 250 grain loading! (Have 2) | $110 | |

410 RARE "Black Box" for the "Winchester Junior Trapshooting Outfit!" |
|
Winchester. This is the 1920s "Black/ 'Red-W' Box", the only labeling that is truly appropriate and original for the "Winchester Junior Trapshooting Outfit"! The box retains 24 of its clean, original shells; however, the only part of the wrap-around label that remains is, fortunately, the primary (top) portion, that part which would be seen when in place within the cased set. RARE! | $195 |

30-40 Krag | Winchester. Very early box, ca 1898-99 with both "Sunburst" labels. The box contains 15 correct, native ctdgs and 5 fillers (3 of which have correct headstamps but different primers and 2 of which are Rem-UMC). Highly desirable box: very solid, exceptionally clean and unrepaired! | $145 sold |
|
44-40 Model 1873 | "Winchester Rifle Model 1873", Blk Pwdr M73 side-label Picture Box. Unusual and scarce tan label. Ctdgs are all correct though not all native to the box, Some edge and side-label transparent tape mainly as reinforcement rather than repair as corners and edges appear tight. Nice Win '73 display box, CHEAP! | $695 sold |
|
44 Henry RF | U.M.C. Blk Pwdr 2-pc bx, ca 1890s. Labels have severe "mottling" but remain legible but the cartridges, incredibly, appear to be untouched and native to the box!

22 LR WIMBLEDON MATCH RARE! |
|
Peters. WIMBLEDON MATCH. One of the most desirable
loadings in Peters' rich legacy of collectible .22 boxes! Only around during
the mid-1930s Depression years, this premium loading was not sold in great
quantities. Dunn: PCC-53 LR-2c, BUT rather than the Dunn-listed gold print
description re boxes having the "C" bottom, this one has the earlier
"gold-leaf" type coloring! The box shows some "smudges" but has no
splits, flap problems or repairs. This is only the 3rd Wimbledon box I have offered in
32 years and the ONLY one of this unlisted variety! (From my personal
collection) [Photo'd in shrink-wrap] |
$395 sold |

44 Bull Dog Blanks |
UMC. A solid box with a great label containing 39 (of 50)
original blank ctdgs, headstamped: "UMC .44 B Dog". ALL Bull Dog boxes are
RARE and desirable! [From the Reichenbach collection] |
$95 | |
310 Skeet (RF Shotshells) | Remington. ".310
SKEET / SHOT GUN SHELLS", Rim Fire, "For use in (RARE) .310 Skeet Remington
Shotgun", 250-box, mfd for a mini-shotgun that Remington
imported from Brazil in the 1960s for amusement park type "clay-bird"
shooting. Never a success, both the guns and the cartridges are rare. I didn't
count the ctdgs but the back edge remains sealed and the box feels quite
full. [Photo'd as wrapped in plastic.] |
$300 sold |
|
9 m/m (9x23) Steyr | German mfg, 2 boxes (DWM, "Avion"), both boxes "minty" in all respects. Both for: | $100 | |
45 Auto (ACP) | Remington. Very scarce 1921/22 "Successors to" box, the transition labeling between "Remington-UMC" and Remington Arms Co, Inc". Side-seal recommendation has the Colt signature logo as well as the desirable Rampant Colt. Solid box w/ no repairs and all native-to-the-box ctdgs. | $150 | |
32 Auto (ACP) | Western Ctdg Co.
Forty-two original rounds remain in this 2-pc box from the early-'Teens, a
seldom-seen Soft Point loading in an Automatic pistol caliber. Western boxes
from this period are scarce enough in their own right but quite rare in
auto-caliber Soft Point. The box is solid with no repairs and actually
remains sealed along the front long edge. Clean, nice! [From the Reichenbach collection] |
$60 | |
35 S&W Auto | Remington-UMC. Developed for the Smith & Wesson Model 35 (sometimes called the Model 1913, the year in which it was introduced), S&W's entry into the semi-auto pistol market wasn't very successful: It lasted only 9 years and sales averaged fewer than 1,000 guns a year. The caliber, while titled ".35 S&W", differed only slightly from the .32 ACP; in fact, the similarity was such that the Colt caliber functioned very well in the M35 and was cheaper. So there are 3 significant reasons why this is such a seldom-seen caliber: First, it was only marketed for a few years; second, very few guns (all S&W M35s) were ever chambered for it; and, third, it was more costly than the alternative 32 ACP. This rare box remains FACTORY-SEALED and is in EXC condition! [From the Reichenbach collection] | $200 | |
32 S&W | Warner Arms (of
Brooklyn), distributor, but mfd in Germany. Early 1/2-split style 2-pc box,
thought to be late-1890s/1900. Side-seal label approx 95%. Interesting and CHEAP! [From the Reichenbach collection] |
$50 | |
38 S&W Spl Mid Range | Winchester. This
was Winchester's "premium" target ammunition offering, ca 1914. The ctdgs (of
which 17 remain) have the sharp-shoulder bullet and are packed individually
in a specially constructed "divider" box (see pix). Scarce and
CHEAP! [From the Reichenbach collection] |
$95 | |
25 S. Rim Fire | Winchester. This 1939-1944 war-time era 2-pc box appears sealed but upon close inspection it has been opened (with a razor?) at the left end. Unfortunately, the obvious label scratch makes this box available at the Bargain Bin price of... | $120 | |
38 Long Rim Fire | U.S. Cartridge Co. Full of the desirable "raised US" headstamp rds this early Blk Pwdr 2-pc box shows no repairs and retains approx 95% of its side-seal label (although there's a 1"x 1/2" sticker on one end, "186"). | $140 | |
32 S&W SHOT! | Winchester. Rare "No. 12 Shot" loading, ca 1900. Labeling doesn't specify whether Smokeless or Blk Pwdr and is pre-1902 label color protocols so we can't tell, but guessing BP. Box has 30 original ctdgs and is unrepaired and solid in all respects. The labels are 93-94 % (the only label loss being at the bottom of the left end of the lid). As much an oddity as a rarity! | $95 | |
25 Stevens RF Long (Bargain Bin) |
Peters. While the box is missing one end flap and the other is pasted on, this remains a full box of clean ctdgs! | $145 | |
32 Long Colt | Western "Bullseye"
box, ca early '50s. Left flap taped on (internally) but all original, native to the box
ctdgs with "gold" Lubaloy bullets in EXC+
condition! Very hard to find caliber! |
$150 | |
219 Zipper |
Winchester. Scarce variety, 1959-61 (pre-Child Warning), the last "Pure Winchester" box (pre-"Winchester-Western" logo). MINTY!! Prices on these Winchester Zipper boxes have sky-rocketed these past 2 years!! [Photo'd in shrink-wrap]

9 m/m Luger (ERROR box: ".9 m/m")
|
Remington, early 1-pc box, ca 1925. Cartridge title with
erroneous decimal point in front of the nine: ".9 m/m"! Full of
native-to-the-box ctdgs. Solid unrepaired box! Interesting and RARE! [Photo'd in shrink-wrap] |
$125 |
|
38 S&W Special 200 gr. Super Police |
Western. Ca 1962, these boxes are exceptionally scarce in this short-lived 200 grain Super Police loading! The ctdgs have the "gold" Lubaloy bullets and Nickeled cases. And while as NEW from an original case this box has a corner-crinkle at the bottom-right back corner. So, CHEAP: |
$78.50 |

455 Colt [Also 455 Eley, 455 Webley] |
Dominion. The last loading (ca 1970) in this famous Brit caliber. | $135 | |
303 British RARE |
Winchester. While this box is a bit dark, it is solid, tight and unrepaired. Unfortunately, while all the ctdgs are headstamped "303 British", only ONE is correct and native to the box. Still, for Winchester rifle box collectors, especially Model 1895 collectors, I quote the following from Giles & Shuey, One Hundred Years of Winchester Cartridge Boxes, 1856-1956: "...there is probably no Winchester lever-action rifle caliber that is more elusive in ANY two-piece commercial box than the 303 British!" 'Nuff said! | $110 | |
45-70 Shot | Peters. This
RARE and early 2-pc box is thought to be ca 1899 and, as called out only by
the end-label stickers, is in Peters' "newly-introduced" Semi-Smokeless
powder loading. Also, the only "SHOT" callout is found on pasted-on stickers
on the ends. The box is tight in all all respects with no repairs or
problems. [From the Reichenbach collection] |
$285 | |
56-50 Spencer | [Boston Armory] Attractively housed in a hinged plastic case under a (loose) original label from a "No. 56" 42-box, this is an unmarked original 7-pk of un-headstamped ctdgs. The box itself is separated at the seams and the loose label does not, in my opinion, correspond with the 7-pk of cartridges. It is, however, in exceptional condition and, being of Civil War vintage, is of significant interest in its own right: "No. 56, Navy and Infantry Size. Armory,--Chickering's Bldg, Tremont St., BOSTON, U.S." A bit of U.S. history very reasonably priced! | $145 | |
45 Colt & Schofield Blanks |
Frankford Arsenal, "PISTOL CARTRIDGES", with "Oct 23 1882" date-stamped on side. This is the only year that these were called Pistol ctdgs rather than Revolver ctdgs; in fact, I've only ever seen 4 of these 1882 "Pistol" packets and they've all been dated during the 4th week in Oct of 1882! Very uncommon! | $150 | |
30-30 FMJ [Bargain Bin] |
Winchester. Full Patch (FMJ) loading, lbl-dtd 7-15, 9-16. Partial box of 13 native, original ctdgs, most which show some corrosion; however, the rds do have the desirable "protected primers", the last year in which those are to be found. The box is the main thing here of course: it's very solid with no stains, splits or repairs. Further, it's the very first variety of the Type 3 box in Giles & Shuey (pg 176, T-3 V-1). A very nice display box, cheap! | $125 | |
45 ACP "FA 43" (U.S. Military, WW2) [Bargain Bin] |
Frankford Arsenal, partial box but at least 2/3 full, all but 2 or 3 headstamped "FA 43" with the others "FA 42". The ctdgs are clean but the box is near perfect, unusual as these boxes are of very fragile construction. Makes one wonder: Where was this box in 1943, right in the midst of WW2? | $50 | |
38 Colt Special | Winchester. Popular "1932" style box in EXC condition with no splits or repairs. Cartridges all correct and appear native. This is one of those calibers that Winchester tried to turn into a proprietary caliber. The only difference between this and 38 S&W Special is the flat-nose bullet, the cartridges are interchangeable. But Winchester tried to capture the Colt owners by calling it the .38 Colt Special and listing the Colt Army Special, Colt Police Positive Special and Colt Officer's Model (as well as the S&W ) on both the top & side labels. Interesting and somewhat historical. |
