| 303 British |
 |
Winchester.
First cataloged in March, 1898, this
green label, square-cornered Smokeless box represents the very first
Winchester offering in this caliber. The box exhibits both of the desirable "Sunburst"
labels and retains 10 correct cartridges. As a side note, the headstamp on
the ctdg pic on the label is: "WRACo BRITISH"; interestingly, Winchester never
in the history of its production headstamped this caliber that way (no
".303")! Also,
it's of interest to
note that the earliest box in this caliber shown in Giles & Shuey
is an orange label box which is 1907-dated and is one of the very few
credited to an outside contributor. As stated in the book: "...there is
probably no Winchester lever-action rifle caliber that is more elusive in
ANY two-piece commercial box than the 303 British." I wrote that in 2006 and
it's still true today. From my personal collection, the only such box I have
ever owned or even seen, it is unquestionably a TRUE RARITY!! |
$375 |
| 405 WCF |
 |
Winchester. Introduced in 1904, this early .405 labeling 6-6
(primary) and 1-7 (end labels) is seldom seen, especially so nice: Not only
is it clean but there are none of the typical end separations, most unusual
in boxes of such a heavy caliber.
It's well-known that this caliber was a favorite of Teddy Roosevelt, but you
can hereby own such a box that was actually made during TR's term in office
as President!

Winchester. From the late-'Teens, this box is in EXC

importantly, however, the box remains FACTORY SEALED!

Western Super-X. The desirable 250 Gr SILVERTIPS in the
famous "Standing Grizzly" box. Late-'40s Bear boxes are not found with
Winchester "Crouching Bear" graphics as those boxes ended by 1946. So if you
want a Grizzly box to display with a Post-War M71, this is your only choice.
EXC condition showing only the slightest imperfections and NO seam or flap
problems. Further, cartridges are all original and appear native to the box.

Winchester Super Speed, 200 gr. SILVERTIPS. This
Winchester style, often referred to as the "1946 Type" is the perfect one
for display with most Post-War guns as, coincidentally, this graphic and the
M71 both were discontinued after 1958. As a result, this 1946 Type is always
very much in demand. Solid, colorful box in EXC condition! |

Winchester Super Speed, 200 gr. SILVERTIPS. Ca 1962, this

lower edge "bump" this box would be considered just about perfect as are the
Silvertip cartridges within! |

enough, there are only 13 ctdgs in the box! But they ARE all original

41 Short Rim Fire |
 |
Winchester. (1870s!) box with 37 original ctdgs.
Besides the obvious white tape removal, the lid lacks the left end and front
edge. But the 37 rds are headstamped with the very early "small 'H'
in a circle"! And this box is priced simply on the value of the cartridges
(or less!). |
$175 |
|
41 Short Rim Fire |
 |
Winchester. This Black Powder 2-pc box, while showing some
obvious "shelf wear" and clear-taped lid corners, remains full of correct "large impressed 'H'" headstamped cartridges. The rds have original patina and properly oxidized
("frosty") bullets. |

they've never been out of the box. [I regret having wrapped this box before
taking a photo of the interior!] |

.40 Cal, 370 Gr Paper-Patched Bullets |

Winchester. Box of 25 Paper-Patched 370 Gr bullets. These
were the commonly used bullets in the reloading of 40-90 Sharps cartridges
(both Straight and Bottle-neck) and probably some others as well. And, like
the preceding box (above), the
box shows wear but the bullets look as if they've never seen the light of
day. [I
also regret having wrapped this box before taking a photo of the interior!] |

use in .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.
Obviously it didn't work out as planned and the
mini-shotguns as well as their cartridges (hereby offered) are rare!
Box is tight and apparently full as it remains
sealed on one side and I don't believe it could be opened without splitting
the seams.

U.M.C. The famous Creedmoor box, one of the best graphics

to international competition in 1873, it was situated on Long Island and was
built with the--now unimaginable--combined efforts of the NRA and the New

Frankford Arsenal. SEALED. These early Benet-primed
"Colt's Revolver, Cal; .45" (pre-Schofield) packets were month-dated from
Oct 1873-Aug 1874 only. Thereafter, the .45 "Revolver Ball" cartridges,
which were shorter and less powerful to accommodate use in the S&W Schofield
as well as the Colt, were year-dated till 1882. This box is dated December
1873, the 1st month of actual Colt SAA shipments from the factory. (Oct is quite rare and virtually unattainable). String-pull remains
lacquered in place. The box shows none of the typical edge separations and
is totally original, never re-sealed or tampered with in any way.

Winchester, "1945" Series, this

Further, this is the true "3000 fps" 87 gr loading for which the cartridge
was named and which the headstamp denotes. The Olin designation was formally announced in Nov 1944 but obviously
wouldn't have made it on to labels till some months after that date. But the
introduction of the (red & yellow) "1946" style followed very quickly so
this "1945" box could not have been offered except for a few months. It is
known in only a very limited number of calibers with this being one of the
scarcest!

44 S&W "Army Revolver"
Martin primed. April 1871 |
 |
"National Armory, Springfield, Mass. / April, 1871.".
SEALED 12-pack. VERY RARE and VERY EARLY packet of the .44 S&W Martin-primed
center-fire cartridge!! The National Armory, founded in Spfld MA in 1777, was George
Washington's concept designed to safeguard our young nation's armament from
the British. The last dated ammo I have seen from Nat'l Armory is 1871, the
year of this box. Thereafter everything is from Frankford Arsenal. The box is tight with intact
pull string and no seam splits. This is a real piece of our
country's history! |

| 45 "Colt's Revolver" |

"Frankford Arsenal / April, 1874". These early
Benet-primed "Colt's Revolver, Cal; .45"-marked (pre-Schofield) packets were
month-dated from Oct 1873-Aug 1874 only. Thereafter, the .45 "Revolver Ball"
cartridges, which were shorter and less powerful to accommodate use in the
S&W Schofield as well as the Colt, were year-dated till 1882. This box is still SEALED w/ string-pull intact!
[The variance in coloration of these packets is due to to the uneven lacquer
coating used to weatherproof them.] |

the S&W Schofield as well as the Colt, were year-dated till 1882.
While there's a bit of "crinkling" at top-center edge (as it apparently left
the factory), this box is factory SEALED w/ string-pull intact! [The variance in coloration of these packets is due to to the uneven lacquer

| 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!

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!

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.

Early Smokeless
RARE
Jacketed
Hollow Points |
[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.

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! |

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
|
| 38-55 H.V. |
 |
CIL (Imperial)
the true High Velocity stuff. 1600 fps stated on the gold & black box.
If you're going to hunt with a gun of this caliber, these 1970's
gold/blk boxes contain the best .38-55s made in the past 80 years! |

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

box with clean ammo. The last run in this iconic caliber! First cataloged in

original, factory loaded by Remington (not the foreign, off-brand stuff).
Box and ctdgs are EXC, near mint except for price-sticker removal on the end
flap (pictured). |

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! |
$85 |
|
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!

original blank ctdgs, headstamped: "UMC .44 B Dog". ALL Bull Dog boxes are
RARE and desirable!

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!

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... |

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+
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!!

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!

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: |

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! |

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! |
