S		Herter's red/wh/blk bx, EXC.	25
S		National Cartridge Co. NCC-1 S-3. This company was only around for less than 2 years having been founded in 1908 and then sold to Western in 1909. The ctdgs are all the correctly headstamped "N" and all 6 sides--incl the bottom--are as bright and readable as the top (shown). A rare, colorful & and very desirable box with some of the best graphics of ANY .22 box!	350 sold
S		Peters. Dunn: PCC-4 S-1b. SEALED, out of an original brick. What more needs be said?	sold
S		Peters KRUMBLE BALL. The desirable 50-rd gallery box, PCC-29 S-2c. New from brick!	$245 sold
S		U.S. Ctdg Co. Lesmok box, ca 1920, Lowell, MA address. One-pc box w/ side-seal lbl which is still SEALED! Further, this box is NOT LISTED as a Dunn variety (US-8 but "C" side, no bottom print).	$75 sold
S		U.S. Ctdg Co. Copperhead Speedsters in the--supposedly--gold & black box containing unusual "gold" (copper-coated) bullets in black cartridge cases. NY address, last variety issued by this company before going out of business at the end of 1936. Seldom seen.	$40 sold
S		UMC. This is the famous "5-U" box, considered by many to exhibit the most attractive graphics of any & all American .22 boxes. The box still has an orig ad inside. If the side-seal were complete rather than (approx ) 50%, this would be a $300+ box!	$175 sold
S		Western. The desirable 50-rd box in the Kant-Splash gallery loading, ca 1931. Dunn: WCC-6 S-1b, early variety with "W.C.Co" in upper left corner of bottom. Bright & solid!	$225 sold

S H.P.		Winchester. Very scarce Hollow Point loading in one of the most sought-after Win .22 box series, the 1932 red Super Speed (Dunn: WRA-14 S-3b). This series represents Winchester's 1st .22 rim-fire entry in their now legendary Super Speed line. Further, it came during the depths of the Depression when whatever ammo folks could afford was often used to put meat on the table, a fact which makes this "minty" box even rarer!	425 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!	295 sold
