Picked up something cool today

[Jason in TN]

Got his nice display of 22lr ammo today traded some other ammo for it. Some of it has 1cent TN tax stamps on it. Any way thought it was kind of cool. Makes a neat display.

All but two are full boxes those two are about half full. Came with the display case. The one box of Remington kleanbore shorts is about half a box and one other one has a few missing

Well said, Flyboy. You beat me out.

 

Sweet find, Jason.  For some strange reason...I find myself attracted to the brightly colored Federal Hi-Power box. :cool:

Excellent find! I have no clue if its worth anything or not but I would hang it in my living room! Color me envious!

[RED333]

Very Nice!!!

A keeper for sure.

[frankmako]

some nice old ammo boxes.  would like to know how old they are. 

[gary_boom]

Several boxes are from the 70s, Still have a few boxes that I didn't shoot up. I feel old!

[ttocswob]

I remember some of those - my first shooting was in 1970, using Federal Hi-Power .22 long in the red box.

I have a full box of Peters that I scored from my father in law. Interestingly, he never owned a .22 over the years I knew him, they could date back quite a way.

[Jason in TN]

I just liked them don't know what they are worth if much of any thing. Just looking at them I think the Remington hi speed kleanbore one's may be the oldest. They do not even have the keep out of reach of children warning on them but I am not sure. I remember shooting some of the different boxes too guess it was just the memories of out shooting a 22 with dad or grandpa that drew me to them.

The big silver box Winchester is a box of the old crimp style rat shot.

There is a box brown on top Charels Daly. Have never saw them before.

Just thought they were interesting.

I actually bought a new box of Peters maybe a year ago from Sportsman's Warehouse in 'Nooga. Dunno if it was sort of a commemorative issue or what, as hadn't seen it used as brand for many many years from Remington. Next trip, 'bout 7 weeks later, no more, and never seen again. 40gr. lead roundnose, says "Peters Cartridge Division, Remington Arms Company". $19.99 which I considered a bit high at the time; sigh, those were the days.

 

Nifty collection by the way!

That's at least $1000 worth of ammo at today's prices. Congrats!

 

All smart-assedness aside, that's a cool display.

[Guest Th3Khan]

That has to be one of the coolest displays I've ever seen!

I've been busy cleaning out the garden tool sheds at my father in law's after he passed away a few months ago. He was a career Navy pilot. Yesterday I came across a metal suitcase full of survival related stuff, including some .38 spl cartridges, both loose in a cloth bag and an unopened box. Hard to say what the vintage is, he flew from WWII (Iwo Jima and Okinawa) through Viet Nam. The cartridge box looks at least as old as I am (57).  Also some other neat items ie: signal mirrors with crosshair sight hole, bolo knife, fighting/survival knife, liferaft "tablet" rations and a single page Malaysian language dictionary.
