100 Years of Winchester Cartridge Boxes, 1856-1956 by Ray T. Giles & Daniel L. Shuey		*The 1st and ONLY* definitive work on cartridge boxes, covering all the calibers for which Winchester cataloged their rifles, from the Volcanic to the Model 88. Thoroughly researched, this 312 page book contains over 1,400 full color photographs as well as price and rarity guides in a high quality, hard-cover book with dust-jacket! Will be happy to sign your copy on request. RTG**	$69.95, ppd
25 Remington		Remington Kleanbore, 117 gr SP. Bxs generally not pretty but ammo looks clean & nice. Also have 1 Western Super-X box w/ 17 orig rds + 3 fillers.	50 ea.
25 Long Stevens Hollow Pts.		Remington. Very scarce & seldom seen Hollow Point loading. Unfortunately someone has done a crude job of gluing the upper rt edge. A nicer box is a $150 number, this one is much cheaper!	95
25 Rimfire Long (Stevens)		Winchester. Earliest box, ca 1890s, pre-powder & bullet grains callouts. Scuffed, w/ 13 orig copper-cased rds. Brown tape around rt end which can prob be soaked off. 80% side lbl w/ "Steven's Rifle" callout. Scarce this early!	40
257 Winchester-Roberts		Winchester. This is the scarce 100 gr Ptd SP loading which was only offered by Win from 1940 till 1942. The 17 rds which remain show primer corrosion but this a "Rarity 3" valued at $100-200 (see Giles & Shuey p.255). Cheap!	75
284		Winchester. Early box for the Models 88 or 100. Only 1/2 full but how many of these early-1960s .284 boxes have you seen?	30
30-30		Winchester. 2-pc "Full Patch" (FMJ) 7-15 box. Has some lbl damage on left end of lid top & has a whitening on the cardboard at lwr rt end, top back & btm. Also has the very colorful & orig 2-sided "Shotshell & Cleaning Preparations" ad insert (tucked under lid in pic of back side).	145
300 Savage		Winchester "Grizzly" box. Solid, showing minor wear at the edges & crnrs, but ctdgs are not proper Silvertips. They are, however, properly headstamped JSP rds. So here's a CHEAP, "1/2-price" bear box!	60 sold
303 Savage		Remington, full box (msg flaps) w/ 15 orig rds + 5 Super-X fillers.	48.50
32 Rem		Winchester. Earliest SuperSpeed box, 2-pc, ca 1925-27. Scarce, short-lived series, only issued in 8 calibers. Clean orig rds, all of which appear native to the box.	140
32 S&W		Winchester. Early blk pwdr S&W pic box, pre-1885 (when "Central Fire" became "Center Fire" under Winchester labeling protocols for pistol calibers). Rds are all correctly headstamped ("WRACo 32 S&W") but many are not native to the box.	75
32-40		Western "Bullseye" box. Msg rt flap & has smudged front lbl but very clean ammo.	45 sold
38 Auto (38 ACP)		Peters. Scarce Soft Point loading in the "Big P" logo 2-pc box, ca WW1. Rds not cln and box shows some wear so it ends up here in the Bargain Bin, but not a bad box and cheaper than a box of "shooters"!	45
38 S&W		Winchester, 2-pc Blk Pwdr box, ca 1923-26, w/ 9 rds (none of which are native to the box). One end shown but both are the same. Cln & solid, nice display box.	20
38-40		Western Super-X, ca 1960s. All cln & orig in & out. Lbl removal mk upper rt crnr (prob can be cleaned off). At less than the price of a "shooter" box.	40
38-55	gold/black bx	Imperial, ca 1980s. The only factory high velocity loading (1650 fps) out there. Box has 18 orig rds + 2 fired cases.	40
40-65		Peters. "Rustless" w/ pic of ctdg, Kings Mills address, ca mid-1930s. Nice box w/ very minor abrasions toward ends. Though ALL rds are properly headstamped ("Peters 40-65"), 3 are replacements (one of which is not correct b't/primer). So 19 correct to the box & one filler w/ correct HS. Tough & desirable Win M86 caliber in a popular & collectable series. Cheap!	160
40-70		Winchester. Variety not in Giles & Shuey. Rough box full of correct rds but which are not all native to the box. Just noticed as I write this: Box btm is apparently a mis-match as the back (reloading) lbl is 1/4" off. Still, this is a scarce caliber for which Winchester chambered less than 900 guns.	195
401 SL (for Win M1910)		Peters. "Rustless", ca 1950s (among the last made), clean rds.	75
401 SL (for Win M1910)		Remington Kleanbore box. Rt flap taped on but clean rds. (Photo'd in shrink-wrap).	70
405 Win		Winchester, ca late-'40s. Back side about the same cond as front. Ammo appears fine. Have a couple bxs similar to this.	55
44-40		Winchester. Black Powder "Picture" box ca 1907-1910 with callouts for both Win Models 1873 and 1892. Has lbl probs at rt end and contains but 21 orig rds; still, this is a decent displayable example of a Winchester box in what is probably the most popular caliber to come out of the black powder era. And at a fraction of the price of the Win picture boxes you'll find on the market.	250
45 Colt & Schofield		Frankford Arsenal. 12-pk, 1877 dtd, the year following the Little Bighorn. String pulled but still there, one side replaced (not very noticeable) but the Benet-primed (inside-primed) cartridges are all original and box displays extremely well as the replaced side is to the back. While 1878-dtd packets are fairly common, these 1877s are far scarcer (and 1876s are nearly impossible). Here's a very displayable, historic 1877 at or below the price of an 1878. Guarantee you'll like it or I'll pay the UPS return!	375
45-70 WHV		Winchester High Velocity, 7-26 box. As stated on our 20-rd page describing a similar (tho later) box that sold for $385: "These rds bear the desirable '45-70 WHV' headstamp & have the protected primers. Originally introduced in 1903 to 'soup-up' the sluggish 45-70 black pwdr ammo that had been around for 30 years, it was meant for the (then) modern lever guns which were strong enough for the new smokeless pwdr cartridges. It's unquestionably the best 45-70 loading for the Win M86 collector." This box has a repaired tear on the back of the lid as well as the end seams on the btm where these boxes nearly always split on these taped-construction boxes, esp in the heavy cals. ALL labels, however, incl end lbls, are nice!	250
50-110 Single Rounds	Inquire	Have a number (more than 20) of loose Winchester (& a few UMC) 50-110 rds for sale. Different bullet types & primer types in smokeless & blk pwdr. Either I'll buy your empty boxes or will sell the cartridges individually.	$18-25
