New Book	Winchester Two-Piece .22 Boxes 1873-1927 By Richard L. Rains	This hard-cover book is 212 pages in full color. All known Winchester .22 boxes from the beginning of Winchester's production of that caliber in 1873 until the end of their two-piece box production in 1927 are described and (nearly all) pictured herein. A Rarity Scale is also included. This book is an absolute MUST for the .22 box collector!	45
S		Herter's red/wh/blk bx, NEW from brick.	25
S		New York Metallic Ammunition Co. According to Barber (p.26), this company was in business only from 1865-1867, making it one of the RAREST of ALL American makers & especially so in .22 cal. Though on an empty (as most of these early bxs are) makeshift bottom, this label & lid are in exceptional condition. A very rare box and a very rare opportunity!	$3950
S		Peters "1977" Flying Duck Antique Series. Scarce in Short. Minty.	20
S Hol Pt.		Remington. "1947" series. Hard-to-find Hollow Pt loading.	15
S		UMC. Very scarce & desirable 100-rd "Picture Box" showing a Smith & Wesson spur trigger 1st Model, 2nd issue .22 revolver. This box is empty (as most boxes from this early period are). UNlike most such boxes, however, this one retains 98% of its side-seal label. This is only the 2nd style UMC box & label, Dunn: UMC-2 S-1, ca 1868. Given that the name of the company changed from Union Metallic Ctdg & Cap Co (to just Union Metallic Ctdg Co) in Aug 1868 and the 3rd issue Mod 1 revolver was an 1868 introduction, this "2nd issue" box can't have been around very long. [See below for box picturing the 3rd issue revolver.]	525 sold

S		Worcester Metallic Cdtg Co. This exact box pictured in Dunn and one of only 2 known to me. Empty, it is thought to be a private label ca 1870. Tape marks, but box is solid and AMONG THE RAREST OF ALL 22 BOXES!	$3950
Long (BRICK)		Federal. Brick of 10 bxs (brick sleeve shown but bxs have same graphics). One bx has "corner crunch" as does sleeve. The other 9 are perfect, and the ammo is clean in all 10. Tried to find Longs lately?	55 sold
Long Silvadry		Remington. Dogbone box, early-1930s. Here is a very scarce loading: First, it's in LONG. Second, it's "SILVADRY". Third, it's STANDARD VELOCITY. A veritable trifecta of rarity factors! To top it off, it's a variety NOT listed in DUNN! [Rem-7.3 L-1, AA btm but #6 flap. Dunn lists only #3 flap (L-1a) and #5 flap (L-1b)]. Also, forgot to mention: NEW from (partial) brick!	275 Sold

LR		Western Super-X. While there are many varieties of this box from the 1930s-1950s (most encountered are '50s), this one is pre-War and and has the BLACK Super-X logo rather than the most often seen red/blue logo. WCC-7.5S. Not near as common as it looks!	10
LR		Western Xpert, Olin K-code, 1946-52. New from brick.	10
LR		Western Xpert, early 1960s, WCC-12 LR-4. NEW from brick.	7.50

LR		Winchester PRECISION 5-STAR, early 1930s. Over-sized box (1-5/8" x 2-7/8") because the inner tray consists of a 50-hole holder with each ctdg nose-down and separated from the other rds. One of the most in-demand of all Win 22 bxs!	225 sold
22 LR Shot		Winchester. The scarce & much sought-after "1939" style Shot box. These unique graphics were found only on these 22 boxes (tho there was a similar--but not identical--22 Hornet style) and were around only briefly pre-WWII. This is the "1939" type with the Western Ctdg Co callout. Dunn: WRA-15 LR-4. EXC!	315 sold

Rem Auto		Rem Kleanbore, green box. Back in stock...	45
Win Auto		Winchester. Very early 2-pc box, possibly the 1st. Rains:WA-2b. Side-seal about 70% (msg most of lbl at left end of lid) but both long sides complete. Rains rates as Rarity 2 but I respectfully disagree: this is only the 2nd I've ever seen and the example pictured in Rains' book is not quite this good.	225 sold
Win Auto		Winchester. 2-pc 6-15 box, Rains: WA-6a. SEALED!	165 sold
Win Auto		Winchester. "1927" style, earliest 1-pc box. WRA-12 but variety NOT IN DUNN (1-c but unshaded shield). New from brick.	150 sold
WRF Hol. Pt.		Peters. High Velocity HOLLOW POINTS, ca 1934. PET-11 WRF-2(but variety NOT in Dunn: has "Remington" line). This series was only in the line ca 1931-34. Remington came into the picture in 1934 making this a "1-year" box!	225 sold

WRF		Rem "1967" box w/ call-out "Remington Special" (for Rem Models 12 and 121). These are the last boxes to have this call-out. Though all have some very minor scuffs, they are all new from brick. Dunn: Rem-17 WRF-1a.	17.50
WRF		Sears Sta-Klean, lt blue, Dunn: SEARS-6 WRF-1 but "Cadmium Pltd" blkd out in the red-brown of the Sta-Kln logo rather than in blue (as in Dunn WRF-1). New from brick.	125
WRF		Win-Western "1994" commemorative issue. NEW from brick.	9.50
WMR (Win Mag)		Remington. The only run of this caliber made by Rem pre-1961 and supposedly re-called. Not sure about that, but I DO know they're VERY hard to find. Dunn: Rem-15 WMR-1. EXC!	65 sold
Extra Long		Swiss box, thought to be 1950s-'60s. "Export Prohibited" but it got over here somehow!	100 sold
