U.S. CARTRIDGE CO. This is the much sought after "Woodcut"
box showing 2 game scenes as well as 2 pistols and 6 long guns, all
surrounding the Company's "Shield Logo". While the right end of the lid
shows edge separation and seal split, this box is still factory SEALED!
great find! |

Winchester. Early "Metallic Cartridges" 2-pc box circa mid-1870s. Box shows
minor repair on 1 corner of bottom but side-seal label approx 85%.
Headstamps are impressed "H" in circle and all appear native to the box.
Very decent, displayable box, CHEAP! |

Remington-UMC. Black Powder, 2-pc "Split Logo" box.
Earliest R-U box with a printed insert announcing the combination of these 2
historic companies shrink-wrapped on box bottom for viewing. Side-seal label
is 97-98%. Erasure on label is only detraction. Cheap! |
$260 |

Winchester. "Metallic Ctdgs" callout makes this a late-1870s/early-1880s
labeling. Solid w/ tight seams. Side-seal label all there but sealed only
along back long edge, the other 3 sides having been slit with a sharp knife
with no label loss. [From my personal collection]
(Photo'd in shrink-wrap, pls ignore seam on side pic) |

U.M.C. Picturing Marlin's "Standard Revolver" this
little beauty of a very early UMC box, even while msg the back edge of the
lid (see pix), retains 80+% of the side seal label and is full of original
ctdgs. Rare item with great graphics!

U.M.C. Solid 2-pc box, side label 99+%. A caliber
that's been extinct for 100 years, and in a factory-sealed, Black Powder,
late-1880s/'90s box? Yes.
Nothing more need be said...
[Box color is slightly darker than scan shown) |

U.M.C. Solid early-1890s blk pwdr "loose pack" box (as
opposed to the later "heads & tails" box). Tight seams w/ top label near 99% and side label approx 90%.

Chicago and Minneapolis palm pistols. |

Winchester. FULL,
EARLY (pre-1900) "loose-pack" box of this very scarce & much in demand caliber for the Rem-Rider and
Chicago and Minneapolis palm pistols. Ctdgs, while apparently not all
native to the box, are 100% correct impressed "H" rds. Side label
is approx 90% but top label is 99+%! |

New York Metallic Ammunition Co. EXTRAORDINARILY RARE BOX!
This spur-trigger revolver "picture box" is ca 1866-67! The fragile label
shows some even, light scuffing but there is no loss of text or graphics.
Box is solid (tho left end of lid is replaced) and contains 3 original
cartridges. This box is from the George Kass collection--no better pedigree
or provenance exists! |

Pwdr 1880s box. Top label near perfect, side-seal 98-99% (pls ignore

Hall & Hubbard, a
direct descendant of Smith & Wesson, evolved through the partnership of Smith, Hall &
Farmer followed by that of Smith, Hall & Buckland, becoming Hall &
Hubbard in 1869. It then disappeared in 1874. Side label on this 50-rd
loose-pack box is only about 1/3, but top label not only is all there but
nearly perfect! A great historic box which, incredibly (and unlike most of
these very early boxes which are most often found empty), retains 30 orig
rds! |

"Keystone Metallic Cartridge Works, Philadelphia Penn'a".
Ever wonder what ammo the Keystone Cops used? Well, here it is!
Just kidding, of course, but little is actually known about this company.
Apparently a private label brand, they offered very few calibers. I'm only
aware of .32 RF and .22 RF though there may be one or two more. Box is
missing one edge of lid but does contain 1 orig un-headstamped ctdg. Very
rare maker and in a "picture box" as well! |
