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 |

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! |

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. |

![]() |
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 |

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] |

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 |

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. [WRA-30 S-8c, Rains: SS-8] [Photo'd in shrink-wrap] |

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. [Photo'd in shrink-wrap] |

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!

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 |

Peters. Two-piece box, full of 50 "P"-headstamped ctdgs (one of which is not native). "Improved Semi-Smokeless" is a loading that was only offered for a matter of approximately one year. The "Improved Semi-Smkls" labeling was introduced by Peters in 1926 and their new "Rustless" labeling was introduced in 1927. For the early part of 1926 the boxes were of 2-pc construction (as is this example, PCC-6 WRF-1) but sometime before the end of that year the 1-pc box was introduced (PCC-6 WRF-2). Rare box, rare opportunity! |
