.22 Description $
S

CIL-Dominion. Pictured in the Canadian section of The .22 Box Identification Guide" as
CIL-2 S-2, this box has "Dry Lubricated Bullets" stamped (very lightly) on the front edge of the lid of this early 2-pc box. Evidently the predecessor to CIL-2 S-3, which is a 1-pc box with the Dry Lube call-out printed in the upper right corner in place of "Smokeless/Greaseless", this box would be a very short-lived 1932 transitional labeling. Not noted in either the I.D. Guide or Don Blyth's The .22 Rimfires of Canada, this box is rare in any condition, but exceptionally so as pristine as seen here!
$150
sold
S Gamble's. The FIRST Gamble's box, GS-1 S-3! The ctdgs have the rare & desirable "G" headstamp. Box is solid w/ no repairs or seam/flap problems.[Photo'd in shrink-wrap, from my personal collection] $350
sold
S Meriden. Sears' proprietary brand mfd by National and, after their buy-out in 1909, Western Ctdg Co. (see next listing). Very few varieties of this maker are known to exist, the most famous being the very desirable (and extremely expensive) Pointer boxes. MER-1 S-4. $400
sold
22 Short "Pointer" box Meriden. This was an early Sears, Roebuck brand used by Sears to market their line of ammunition in the early 1900s. Initially, the ctdgs were mfd by National which was then purchased by Western in 1909. This box of unheadstamped copper ctdgs is thought to be of early vintage although it's impossible to date it. In any event, these Pointer boxes, which came in all 3 powder types of the period (Smokeless, Lesmok and Black), are among the most collectible of ANY AND ALL .22 boxes! VERY RARE! And condition is EXCELLENT! $2250
sold
S National Ctdg Co.  Formed in 1908 and purchased by Western in 1909, this company obviously wasn't around very long! This box just about as desirable as can possibly be found: scarce, bright, solid, exc cond with great graphics, all the factors that make for museum-collection-investment quality. NCC-1 S-3.

[From my personal collection.]

S U.S. Cartridge. This "Woodcut" labeling common to 1880s USC .22 boxes is the most elaborate graphic to ever grace a .22 box: 2 vignettes- one with dogs on point over a bird and the other with dogs running a stag. Then there's the 2 long-barreled pistols at top center. And that's to say nothing of the ornate US shield logo!  Other than the darkening at upper right the box is in excellent condition; and, although the box is not sealed, even the red side-seal label (worst side pictured) is 98-99%.
US-3 S-4b#2

S Western Gallery Special. WCC-48 S-4, Exc SEALED box w/ no problems. $75
sold
S Western. The "Kant Splash" Gallery loading containing composition bullets that fragment upon hitting a hard surface thereby preventing ricochet and penetration. Most of these were marketed in 250-rd or 500-rd boxes for use in shooting galleries; as a result, these 50-rd boxes are seldom seen! WCC-49 S-1b. $180

S Winchester. The famous "Spotlight" loading, the hollow point loading that, upon impact with a hard target, left a spot of visible light where it hit. All Spotlight boxes are highly collectible, especially so in SEALED, bright condition such as this. As is so common with these boxes, a "label pull" spot appears on the lid label where the label stuck to the bottom of the box which lay atop it in the brick sleeve when packed at the factory.

S&W Long
UMC. The rare "22 S&W Long", one of the rarest of the entire UMC series. It's really a .22 LR as you can see by the ctdg pic on the label, but it's a very desirable and seldom-seen variety. Due to the fact that the rounded ridge surrounding the label is at a level above the label, it's the ridge that takes all the scuffing while the label remains essentially untouched. Such is the case here: the edge has taken substantial wear but, fortunately, the label remains virtually 100% intact with great color. The side-seal is 99%+ also, apparently the box was opened with a sharp knife or razor.  Twelve of the scarce, original ctdgs remain.

This is the very FIRST style Long box, AMC-1 L-1, and contains 4 original & rare "Raised A" headstamped ctdgs.                                              Or BOTH (see below listing) for $225! $135

Hollow Point!

Remington. Very scarce Long Hollow Point loading, REM-5 L2. Generally speaking, the most collectible and most valuable of the standard (non-specialty) "Short/Long/Long Rifle" loadings are the Longs in Hollow Point.

[10-box "brick"]

 

Winchester. "Improved L.V. EZXS" Match cartridges, ca 1954. The relative scarcity of this box is seldom appreciated due to the failure to recognize that there are TWO varieties of this colorful box which was in the line until 1959: This variety, WRA-54 LR-8a, was introduced at some time during 1954 with the "Olin Industries" call-out. Labeling in 1955 however saw the introduction of the "Olin-Mathieson Chemical Corp" call-out (LR-8b), so of the 5 years during which this "Improved L.V. EZXS" loading was cataloged, 1954-1958, only the first, 1954, was Olin Industries! While the 10 boxes herein are all original & correct, the sleeve is rough with 1 end detached and the other taped on with clear tape. $175

   Hollow Points

Winchester. This is the highly desirable "Red Super Speed" of the early 1930s [WRA-13 WRF-4c], the first Super Speed as well as one of the most collectible of all the Winchester series. The labeling shows some surface--for want of a better word--"scrapes(?)", but the color & box integrity are great and the cartridges are bright, nickel-plated and EXCELLENT...also CHEAP, a $350 box if perfect!!
