38 S&W Special Rare 200gr b't. |
Winchester. While not in premier condition, there are no splits, missing parts or repairs--and it's the only 200 gr "1946" Series Win 38 Spl box I've ever had or seen! [From my personal collection--where it's been for 19 years]. | $75 | |

351 WSL (Win M1907) |
Winchester. In the last of
the 2-pc 1920-style "full-cover" boxes is this FULL PATCH (FMJ) loading with
"Staynless/Non-Mercuric/Oilproof" callout, and "WRACo" headstamps, a
combination which dates this labeling to 1932-33. The label on these boxes
is one that covers the top, wraps over the ends and seals on the bottom.
While the label is (barely noticeably) split at the right end as it seals on
the bottom, the box remains unopened (and would be impossible to open
without splitting the end-edges). Scarce, colorful box in EXC condition! (Photo'd in shrink-wrap) |
$175 | |
401 WSL (Win M1910) |
Winchester. Label-dated
1911, this is a VERY early, red label example of the scarce (relative to the
JSP), "Metal Patched Bullet" (FMJ) loading. While showing moderate handling
wear and the minor (but typical) bottom-end separations, the box is in solid
condition, unrepaired, with all original cartridges. (Photo'd in shrink-wrap) |
$150 sold |
|
401 WSL (Win M1910) |
Winchester. The colorful and highly collectible
"1935/1939" graphic in the 200gr JSP loading. The box shows
moderate handling/shelf wear but the flaps & seams are tight
and unrepaired. A seldom-seen caliber in what is, by far, the most
collectible series of Winchester's 1-pc boxes! (Photo'd in shrink-wrap) |

256 Win Mag [Bargain Bin] |
Win-Western, 1970s box containing 10 factory ctdgs + 6 fired brass. | $20 | |
11/22/24 | |||
22 Savage Hi Power | Winchester. RARE "Pointed Full Patch" labeling. Label dates are 8-15 and 3-19 but the over-printed "Staynless" callout makes this box about 10 years later, attesting to the low demand and, ultimately, the rarity of this loading! No repairs or edge problems. [This box has been a part of my personal collection since 1993, 31 years!] | $175 | |
25-35 Win. |
Winchester. This unusual box has a lid label dated 8-6,
front label is 10-9, "Red W" end labels are 1-7, "License to the Trade"
label on back of lid is 10-10; and, in tiny print, "...and throughout the
world" (ca 1911) is added in an over-print to the trade mark line! This
variety not in Giles & Shuey (2006), and was unknown until 2023. [From my personal collection] |
$275 sold |
|
25-36 Marlin | Winchester. "For Marlin Magazine Rifles, Model 1893". This RARE box is ca 1898-99 and bears both of the desirable yellow "Sunburst" labels: the "Smokeless" (on front) and the "Soft Point Metal Patched" (on right end)! Seldom offered! Tight seams, no repairs! [This box has been a part of my personal collection since 1992, 32 years!] |
$295 sold |
|
303 Savage Miniature | Winchester. Scarce and very early loading (judging by the lid label, 1898 or earlier), intended for the Model 1893 and (possibly, but not necessarily) predating the introduction of the Savage Model 1899! Eleven original ctdgs remain. Box is tight with only one minor seam separation (bottom of left end). [This box has been a part of my personal collection since April, 1996!] | $135 | |
303 British | U.S. Cartridge Co. "Ball Cartridges for...Winchester Model 1895 Rifle". Early 1900's box in the rarest caliber to be found in a Winchester 2-pc box. This is the only USC box I've ever had in 303 Brit also! Tight seams with no repairs! | $195 | |
303 British |
Winchester. Giles & Shuey, pg 214: "...there is
probably no Winchester lever-action rifle caliber that is more elusive in
ANY 2-piece commercial box than the 303 British.". Fifteen original ctgs
remain; tight seams with no repairs! THIS IS THE BOX PICTURED ON PG 215!
(For the full story on this WWI issue "MK VII Standards" box, see pg 215

32-40 High Velocity |
Winchester. This is a clean, full, 10-9 label-dtd box,
tight seams & unrepaired, of the very scarce and desirable High Velocity
loading. This variety not in Giles & Shuey. [This box has been a part of my personal collection since 2011!] |

38-40 | Winchester. Black Powder "Winchester '73" box, ca 1900. Note side-label calls out Model 1892 (and 1885 single-shot) as well but this caliber, unlike the 44-40 boxes, never had rifle pics on the side label. Labels are exceptional, both top and side-seal have great color and are 99% complete! Great display box for ANY of the 3 models! |
$550 sold |

44-40 | U.S. Cartridge Co. Colorful and very scarce High Velocity labeling but RARE in this Full Metal Jacket loading! Ctdgs appear all native to the box and are exceptionally clean as well! Nice!! |

|
44-40 (SEALED) |
Winchester. This is one of the best known and most collectible of all cartridge boxes: the Black Powder "Winchester '73" box featuring a full-length picture of the rifle on the front edge. (Many have the pic on the back edge making it far less diplayable). Further, it doesn't have any of the 1/4" round, crate-rubbed white spots commonly found on labels of this vintage--both labels are 99.9%! And -- it's SEALED! |

44-40 |
Winchester. This full-cover 2-pc Smokeless Powder JSP box
is ca early-1920s. It is also the last iteration of Winchester's 2-pc
(lift-off top) boxes. By 1928 most of the Company's offerings were in "1-pc"
boxes (flaps & inner trays, clearly 2-pcs but 1-pc is what they're called!).
A couple minor scuffs but nothing serious. Ammo all correct with the classic
"WRACo .44 W.C.F." headstamps. |
$450 sold |
|
45 Colt | Winchester. Ca early-'20s, this was Winchester's last offering in .45 Colt in a Black Powder loading and 2-pc boxes. (see comments in 44-40 listing above re box types). Solid box full of correct ctdgs but the label appears to have a "cut or scratch" from top to bottom beginning above the final E in "WinchestEr", through the T in "Colt" and the bullet nose, and passing thru the E in "HavEn". The scanner highlights it all out of proportion to its in-hand appearance where it's barely noticeable, certainly nothing like how the picture accentuates it. I'll make this offer: If you buy it and don't like it, send it back (as received, in its shrinkwrap) for full refund--I'll send you the UPS label for the return so all you'll have to do is hand it to a driver! |

9m/m RF Shot (Flobert) |

401 WSL (Win M1910) [Bargain Bin] |
Remington. Rough DogBone box with mouse-gnawed corner and missing a bit of cardboard at right end. Contains 13 "WRACo" (Winchester) rds w/ brass primers + 4 Rem & 3 Western rds with nickel prs. CHEAP! | $40 | |
10/25/24 | |||
.45 "Revolver Ball", 1877 | Frankford Arsenal. Dated 1877, this is the .45 Colt (& Schofield) packet of the Benet-primed cartridges shipped from the arsenal to the troops from 1875 to 1882. A far rarer date than the 1878 packet, this example is still sealed with correct drawstring placement and none of the typical seam separations! |

38 Long Colt Rare 1880s Headstamp: "US 38 Army" |
(click to enlarge) |
U.S. Cartridge Co. "Colt's New Army Revolver". Ca.
mid-1880s, the cartridges in this box are all headstamped with the
desirable, "US 38 Army". To the best of my
knowledge, the headstamp "38 Army" exists on no other cartridge! Nor did it
last long on cartridges by USC in this or any succeeding labeling! Although there's a barely noticeable trace of tape removal the box is tight with a complete side-seal label and cartridges all appear native. Seldom offered or even seen--a RARE box! |
$500 sold |
10/12/24 | |||
225 Winchester | Winchester. Introduced in 1964, Winchester no longer produced guns in .225 caliber after 1971. As a result the ammo is seldom encountered and when found is typically over $100/box! This is only the 2nd time I have offered this caliber since 1992--have 4 boxes and am offering these at only... | $85 | |

25 L RF Stevens | Canuck (Canadian Inds. Ltd). Ca 1970. (Have several) | $150 | |
9/30/24 | |||
310 Cadet | Kynoch. This scarce loading is one of the few Brit calibers I get calls for. The box has transparent tape over the left end flap and a small tape removal "scar" over the right, neither very distracting (see pic), but ctdgs are all clean & native to the box. The box itself is very solid and unrepaired and exhibits great colour (sorry, just couldn't help myself) ! Also, it has an internal cartridge tray with dividers so that the ctdgs are never in contact with one another. Interesting and seldom seen! | $150 sold |
|
9/26/24 | |||
30-'03 [Bargain Bin] |
Winchester. This "Gov't"cartridge was chambered in only ONE Winchester
rifle: the Model 1895. I often get calls for boxes in this very scarce and
long obsolete caliber but it's very seldom that I can help these folks.
So it is with this realization that, with some temerity, I list this
original Winchester box containing but ONE cartridge in the hope that some
collector will be thankful to find even this humble box for his display. The
bottom ends have the usual separations (easily repairable) but the box is
basically sound (though perhaps in need of some gentle wiping or cleaning).
The ctdg is quite nice with but one spot of staining but no corrosion or
neck splits. [The lower label in the photo is near the bottom of the back side.] |

7x61 m/m Sharpe & Hart (7x61 Super) |
Norma. Now rare
in this, its original factory loading, the cartridge was developed and
originally loaded in Europe but never gained much traction in the U.S. Have
2 loadings with this same box graphic (both flaps w/ loading data pictured);
priced the same, your choice: 5 boxes "160 gr Soft Point Semi Pointed BoatTail", and 2 boxes "154 gr S.P. Spire Point". |
$60 | |
7x61 m/m Sharpe & Hart |
Norma. As above: Now rare in this, its original factory loading, the cartridge was developed and originally loaded in Europe but never gained much traction in the U.S. These boxes together contain 26 orig rds + 14 fired brass, the top box pictured being full but with loose flaps, the lower box missing the right flap. | $50 | |

218 Bee | Winchester. Super Speed, ca 1962-66. Box is dirty but tight, ammo EXC! Getting VERY hard to find! | $135 | |
218 Bee |
Two full boxes (100 rds, total) of factory-loaded,
clean cartridges--but mixed headstamps, as follows: 1 box Remington Hi-Speed with 46 orig (R-P) rds + 4 Win SuperSpeed rds. Also, 1 box Peters HighVelocity with 34 orig rds + 16 Win SuperSpeed rds. |

|
358 Winchester | Winchester-Western, the scarce and most desirable 200 gr SILVERTIPS (not "Power Points"). The greatest fodder for those rare Winchester Model 88s and Model 70s--and the ammo's getting to be as rare as the guns!! | $95 | |
9/20/24 | |||
33 WCF (WIN) |
UMC/Rem-UMC transition box, ca 1910-11. Interesting box
with --all original--labeling calling out both UMC (1910 & earlier) as well
as the combined Remington-UMC logo of 1911 on bottom ends. The cartridges,
however, while factory-loaded are mixed; mostly being the much scarcer &
earliest "UMC" headstamps with the "u" brass (denoting Smokeless) primers
but also including similar ctdgs with the Rem-UMC headstamp. The latter,
given the labeling, may or may not have been native to the box. There are
also four slightly later (mid-'Teens) rds with nickeled primers. It's
logical that such transition boxes such as this (in many other calibers and
labelings) should exist but, though I've suspected a few others, this is the
first of which I'm confident! [From my personal collection] |
$125 | |
33 WCF (WIN) [Bargain Bin] |
Remington Kleanbore. Covered in tape, no flaps, mixed rds (some different headstamps) but all 20 are factory-loaded. | $65 sold |

Remington Kleanbore, ca 1950s. Rough box lacking both end
flaps but full of correct, factory-loaded ctdgs. |
$100, SHIPPED | |
9/19/24 | |||
33 WCF (WIN) [Bargain Bin] |
[red/yellow box similar to below] | Mixed box w/ no flaps containing 19 VERY SCARCE "33 WCF USCCo " rds and one "D.C.Co 33 WCF" rd. | $90 |
33 WCF (WIN) [Bargain Bin] |
Winchester. This is the last box graphic in which Winchester offered this caliber; called the "1946" style, it was discontinued in the early/mid-'50s. This box is missing both end flaps, however the cartridges are all factory-loaded and original and bearing the last headstamp: "WRA 33 Win". Like the Remington boxes above, it's not exactly collectible quality but the powder "shakes free" in the ctdgs. | $95 sold |
|
16 Gauge BRASS Primed Shells |
Winchester. Full-cover, 2-pc box ca mid-1920s. Full of its
clean, original "Primed BRASS Shells" with the headstamp: "WINCHESTER No.
16". Box is very solid and showing no signs of repair. Brass shells are RARE in 16 Ga! (Note: Primed Shells are NOT loaded loaded with shot or powder!) |
$185 | |
9/11/24 | |||
38-55 | Winchester-Western. Orig boxes of clean, factory-loaded NOS ("New Old Stock") ctdgs, have 6! | $67.50 | |
9/8/24 | |||
50-110 Winchester Express |
Winchester. AS ABOVE EXCEPT DESIRABLE BLUE LABEL & NICER! One
of the most collectible of all Winchester cartridges AND cartridge boxes,
this is the Black Powder "Express" box intro'd in the late-1880s. Express
cartridges all have the correct "raised X" on the copper tube in the
nose of the bullet. [See Giles & Shuey, pg 160.] However this box has much less scuffing and NONE of the usual bottom end separations. Again, a great find for cartridge collector, cartridge box collector or Win M86 collector. |
$1350 sold |
|
50-110 |
[Photo'd in shrink-wrap] |
Winchester. This very scarce blue labeling is earliest of the Smokeless loadings
with the "47 grs Smkls Pwdr" callout, ca 1896-98 (see Giles & Shuey,
pg. 161). Except for some normal "shelf-wear", the labels are complete and both of the desirable "Sunburst " labels are present,
"Smokeless" on the front and "Soft Point Metal Patched" on the end.
Most interesting, however, is the fact that the bullets in these
early Smkls boxes were not simply Jacketed Soft Points, but were Jacketed
HOLLOW Soft Points! Cartridges are clean & correct. A great find in this
largest of Win M86 calibers. [This is only one of 3 such boxes I have had in 30+ years!] |
$1150 sold |
9/6/24 | |||
44-90 "Creedmoor" | U.M.C. This is the 1870s label graphic ("prone shooter and Dog Logo") which I adapted over 30 years ago to highlight my business card! Box is full of correct catridges: Unheadstamped, ringed "balloon" heads; Berdan primed, with paper-patched bullets. A piece of history which remains my favorite box graphic of all-time, this box has been in my collection for over 30 years! | $950 sold |

22 Remington Auto | Remington.
Scarce, early 2-pc box, ca 1920. Retains 42 corrrectly headstamped ("U")
cartridges but missing side-seal label on one long side.

50-110 Smkls JHP (Rare loading) |
Winchester. This
Jacketed Hollow Point loading in a Smokeless Pwdr box is RARE in any
labeling; however, this is the only one I've ever seen in THIS
labeling: "HOLLOW SOFT POINT" in red print on a stick-on lid-end label!
Nine original cartridges (with the "W" primers denoting Smkls) remain. The
box has no front label, apparently never has: all the labeling is on the
lid-top and ends. Possibly one-of-a-kind, it's not in Giles & Shuey
as I wasn't aware of its existence until it was found in the now-famous
Reichenbach* collection!
*Bob Reichenbach was a life-long Winchester employee and ammo collector. Having long since retired and now passed away, his immense collection had lain dormant for a number of years. His widow began disposing of the collection only about 2 years ago and now she, too, has passed on. The sale of the collection has only recently been completed. |

22 Cal. Daisy VL Caseless Ammunition | Daisy/Heddon. During 1968-69, Daisy, America's best-known "BB-Gun" manufacturer, produced a rifle that fired these caseless cartridges that no primer or case but propelled a 29gr .22 bullet (same as a standard .22 S or L) at 1150 fps. The BATF, however, demanded Daisy become licensed as a firearms manufacturer (rather than airguns) and Daisy was reluctant to take that step and exited the business, opting and return to making and marketing their line of famous BB guns. The ammo came packaged in 100-rd strip packs, 10 packs to a "brick". And offered here is the opportunity to buy a quantity of the fast-disappearing ammo for these seldom seen, now "Curio & Relic", little guns! | Case of 5
1000 rd bricks $350 Brick of 10 100 rd bxs $75 |

8/14/24 | |||
44 XL Shot | Peters. Thought to be ca. mid-'Teens, this 2-pc "Semi-Smokeless" box is full of properly headstamped ctdgs albeit some have nickeled primers and some copper. The paper sabots containing the shot are all tight--very unusual, as these are fragile and most often found partially split or even open (or worse). This is the first box I've ever had by Peters and only the 2nd by any maker in the past 5 years (or longer)! | $465 | |
8/14/24 | |||
45 "Revolver Ball" (Colt & Schofield) |
Frankford Arsenal, 1878. Sealed packet of 12 ctdgs with none of the commonly found edge-splits/repairs, repairs which are often found with the pull-string misplaced when repaired and re-sealed. This one is guaranteed to be totally original! | $425 | |

45 Colt & Schofield | Frankford Arsenal, 1879, Schofield & Colt. The last year of the early style, coated/shellacked boxes. Much less common than the 1878 packets. The label is not well-centered (laps over front edge). Otherwise nice--sealed, clean and tight! | $365 sold |

7/10/24 | |||
22 Rem Auto Hol Pt (Rem Model 16) |
Peters. A very scarce caliber by an obsolete maker is enough to make this a very desirable and collectible box even ignoring the fact that it's in the RARE Hollow Point loading! PCC-8 RA-2, it also remains FACTORY-SEALED! If you're not familiar with the gun, only about 17,700 guns were ever produced by Remington (1916-1928) and the cartridge was unique, not interchangeable with ANY other caliber. As a result it became obsolete very quickly and rare eventually--this variety being among the very rarest! [From my personal collection. Photo'd in shrink-wrap.] | $250 sold |
|
22 Rem Spl (WRF) "Silvadry" |
Remington. The
desirable "Silvadry" in the RARE standard velocity loading--(the "Hi-Power"
loading, while still quite scarce, is far more common). While the box shows
some minor shelf-wear/handling, flaps and seams are tight and cartridges are
all original and appear native to the box. REM-7.3 WRF-1a. [From my personal collection. Photo'd in shrink-wrap.] |

45 Auto (ACP) Scarce 200 gr |
Remington-UMC. This is the scarce 200 gr bullet loading as originally cataloged for the Colt Model 1905 (but, like the much more common 230 gr, was--and still is in several different forms--also functional in the M1911). While the side-seal remains intact along the back edge and left end the seal is split on the front edge and right end leaving it approximately 90% complete. That said, the box is not, and annot, be opened; hence, it remains factory-sealed! | $285 sold |

U.M.C. Here's a RARE one: UMC's first 30-30 labeling in the seldom seen Short Range ("Up to 75 Yards") loading. Thought to be ca 1896-'97, it also has the big "Smkls Reloading Caution" label on the back. Exceptional condition in all respects, this one, like the listing below, is from my personal collection. | $235 sold |
|
30-30 FMJ (1890s) |
U.M.C. Another early & RARE one: FACTORY-SEALED late-1890s box in the especially desirable "Metal Cased Bullet" (FMJ) loading. These early UMC boxes in 30-30, especially in this condition, are exceptionally rare! And, like the listing above, this box is from my personal collection. | $250 sold |
|
38-55 "Winchester High Velocity"
|
Western. Only around for a few years during the Depression, this early "High Velocity" labeling is rarely seen! It was only loaded in TWO calibers, this and 30-30, and it should be noted that, oddly enough, the headstamps are not stamped "HV" on the cartridges of either caliber. A very scarce, little known and highly collectible variety of these iconic Model '94 calibers! | $195 sold |
|
41 Long Colt | Western. Full, early/mid-'60s box of the so-called "gold bullet" (Lubaloy) rds. Box is all there but shows some wear, ctdgs are nice! | $200 sold |

"Caliber .30 Blank Ctdgs, Model of 1909" / "For Model of 1903 Rifle" |
Frankford Arsenal. This SEALED box measures only 4-7/8" x 2-5/8" and has significant weight. That's all I can tell you except that it's in EXC condition and I've never seen another. Will wait for you military collectors to bail me out here... | $85 | |

U.M.C. This

like-new condition!) as well as 2 empty boxes: lower left box has an

5/9/24 | |||
25-20 WHV | Western. "Winchester High Velocity" 60 Gr JHP. This is an early (1930s) Bullseye box missing its right flap. Also, while the cartridges are all 60 gr JHP, they're not all matching. Still, if everything were correct, this would be a $200 box (at least). | $120 sold |

nickel-plated (and more expensive) John Wayne rds! |

44-40 Little Big Horn Commemorative |
[Pls read description] | Winchester. This great box is printed on a reflective silver coating that renders it impossible to scan with any clarity. Can send photos if you're interested or if you're not familiar with the graphic which shows gold-tone cameo-sized images of Custer on one side and Crazy Horse on the other. It's a box of 20 ctdgs in 2 rows of 10: 6"long x 2"wide x 1-1/4"high. In the opinion of many it's the most desirable of the entire series of commemorative boxes; unfortunately, nearly all such boxes show significant flaking, scratching, rubbing, etc. So, in spite of this box's infinitesimal imperfections, very, very few have survived as nice as this and I've not found one nicer--and that includes the one in my personal collection! I doubt "perfection" exists in any of these. | $195 sold |
44 XL Shot | Winchester. Full, solid & original, this is a mid/late-1920s Blk Pwdr box of .44 XL #8 Shot ctdgs all of which appear to be in nice original condition with shot sabots intact (a rarity!). First full box of 44 XL I've had in years! | $495 sold |
|
22 LR | Remington. Why bother to show a box like this?? Good question, actually, as it's rough and has only 18 rds. BUT: It's the FIRST Dogbone box (1926, note the absence of the R-code); Note that it's a Hollow Point loading; Note the graphic format of "Hollow Point" above & below the logo, not within; Note all the ctdgs have an impressed "S" (denoting Smkls) near the case mouth; Note that it's only...... | $25 sold |
|
30-30 | Winchester. Ca 1906, the 1st year of label-dating, this is Type 2, Var 4 labeling (Giles & Shuey, pg 175). Shows minor wear but the box remains tight and unrepaired with all its original ctdgs. These early boxes getting very hard to find! | $185 sold |
|
30-30 | Winchester. Ca 1915, 1st year of the folded construction boxes, this is Type 3, Var 1 (SP). Ctdgs are all original and among the last years to exhibit the "protected primers". While not sealed, the condition is EXC in all regards. | $225 sold |
|
303 Savage | Peters. The so-called "salmon" (colored), JSP labeling. While the ctdg heads (only) appear to have been cleaned, the 2-pc box itself is extraordinarily clean and in EXC+ condition! | $165 sold |
|
32 S Colt | Winchester. Ca 1911, this Blk Pwdr loading and labeling is not often found this late, but is especially not found in this condition!! It's SEALED & MINTY! | $195 sold |
|
351 WSL (Win M'07) |
Remington Kleanbore, 180 gr JSP. All original, native-to-the-box ctdgs. I know this sounds ridiculous but this caliber is getting hard to find. I assume it's just being hoarded as there are a LOT of guns out there but the ammo has become obsolete. | $185 sold |
|
38 S Rim Fire | U.M.C. Ca 1890s, Blk Pwdr box, solid and unrepaired it's full of its original ctdgs; in fact, it appears the rds have never been out of the box! Ever!! | $195 | |
38-55 | Winchester. Despite lid-top and both end labels dated 10-6 this box has a primary (front) label dtd 1-12, so it must be considered to be a 1912 (or slightly later) box. This is not uncommmon as most boxes from this era had 4-6 labels but not usually 6 years difference among them. The box shows some scuffing and wear but shows no dents, splits or repairs and is full of correct, original ctdgs. | $125 sold |
|
41 S Rim Fire | Remington. Early "Dogbone"
box, late 1920s. Solid box with no flap or seam problems. Ctdgs appear
native to the box. Nice, perfect for the later Remington Derringer! |
$300 | |
44 S&W Russian | U.M.C. Ca 1890s
Blk Pwdr 2-pc box. Side-seal is approx 85% and all appears original and
native to the box. A really nice, displayable example! (The bottom edge in pic is reflection, not edge rub.) |
$375 | |
44-40 Rare "Lesmok" Box |
Remington-UMC, "split-logo" labeling, ca 1911-13. Lesmok was used by both Remington and Winchester in very few calibers other than the rimfires and a very few C.F. pistol/small-rifle calibers such as this. It was discontinued shortly after introduction, probably due to slow sales, both factors attesting and adding to the scarcity of Lesmok boxes. The box is solid in all regards and ammo appears all original. SCARCE! | $475 sold |
|
45-70 FMJ (Bargain Bin) |
Winchester. Early "green Smokeless" box with 8 original Full Patch (FMJ) ctdgs. Box is rough but all there; the very scarce FMJ cartridges, however, are worth the price! | $50 sold |

45-70-500 | Frankford Arsenal. Twenty identical, original, tinned-case cartridges headstamped: "F 1 95" (Frankford Arsenal, January, 1895). Excellent, bright ctdgs with no corrosion or staining--perfecct for a Springfield Rifle display (or filling an FA box). | $95 | |
45-70-405 | Western "Bullseye" box, full of factory-headstamped ("Western 45-70 Govt.") 405 gr Jacketed Soft Point ctdgs. These boxes carrying heavy cartridges such as this are seldom found this nice with no splits or loose flaps! | $110 sold |

45-70-405 | Frankford Arsenal. "CARBINE BALL CARTRIDGES". Looks sealed but isn't, transparent tape over top ends. All correct orig ctdgs. CHEAP! | $100 | |

45-70-405 | Western "Red Diamond" 2-pc bx in RARE "NUBLEND PWDR" loading. As with Lesmok (used by Remington and Winchester) very few calibers other than the rimfires and some C.F. pistol calibers were loaded in Nublend. Unfortunately, while 14 rds are correct and native to the box, 6 are Rem-UMC "fillers". Still, this remains a desirable and very collectible box and labeling! [And CHEAP!] | $95 | |
45-70-405 [Bargain Bin] |
Winchester. Blk Pwdr 2-pc box, Orig ctdgs but box has taped end splits at both top & bottom as well as transparent tape along a couple other edges. | $65 Sold |

30-30 | Winchester. This
one's not even in the book and the 30-30 chapter is thought to be the most

To my knowledge they never went forward with it. | $185 | |

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 | |

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 sold |

44-40 Model 1873 | "Winchester Rifle Model 1873", Blk Pwdr M73 side-label Picture Box. Unusual and scarce tan label.

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] |

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] |

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 | |
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+

455 Colt [Also 455 Eley, 455 Webley] |
Dominion. The last loading (ca 1970) in this famous Brit caliber. | $135 | |
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-'06 280gr Experimental |
Remington. Contract experimental box of a 280-Grain SP loading, the heaviest I've ever heard of in this iconic caliber! Must not've worked out too well--never heard from again! Clean ctdgs, headstamped "REM-UMC .30 SPRG". RARE! |
