25 Short Stevens		Winchester. "Staynless" priming but NO callout of powder type. Thought to be made for export, ca 1939-46. Bright lbl on 2-pc SEALED box!	100
25 Long Stevens		WHEN IN STOCK: CIL/Canuck, blu/yel bxs (ca 1960s-early '70s) or Rem Klnbore. Pls call.	90-95
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!	100 sold
25 Long Stevens		Western "Bullseye" box, ca 1945-51. Cln, solid box w/ no problems. Clean ammo.	90 sold
32 Extra Short		Winchester. THIS IS A FULL, SEALED BOX out of my personal collection. Incredible demand for this caliber. Have sold four EMPTY (or w/1 rd) boxes in the past 18 mos for up to $450.	1500 sold
32 Long		Hall & Hubbard, a direct descendant of Smith & Wesson, evolved through the partnership of Smith, Hall & Farmer followed by that of Smith, Hall & Buckland, becoming Hall & Hubbard in 1869. It then disappeared in 1874. Side label on this 50-rd loose-pack box is only about 1/3, but top label not only is all there but nearly perfect! A great historic box which, incredibly (and unlike most of these very early boxes which are most often found empty), retains 30 orig rds!	sold
32 Long		UMC, "Red Ball" logo, 1908-11 only. Blk pwdr loading in the "1883 Patent" box (you can see parts of the 2 faint circles under the label in the pic). SEALED w/ 100% of side-seal remaining!	125 sold
32 Long		Winchester. While the "Process of Lubricating..." statement on the side label shows a patent date of 1882, the top lbl dates this box more accurately at about 1906. Clean, full, SEALED black powder boxes are not commonly found, especially in 32 RF which is MUCH harder to find than 38 RF.	125 sold
32 Long		Navy Arms, blue bx, in stock (call!).	55
32 Short		Crittenden & Tibbals Mfg Co. Rare "Picture Box" w/ 2 orig rds. This company name only in business 1864-1866 when bought by Schuyler Hartley & Graham. It then became part of Union Metallic Cartridge & Cap Co. in 1866 when that company was originally formed (before becoming UMC in Aug, 1867). A great find! (Box actually looks better than pic)	sold
32 Short		UMC "Dog Logo" picture box. An early beauty, ca 1870. Clean & bright label on the early, flat, square-cornered box. Lbls survived fairly well on the 1880's round-crnr "Patent" box w/ indentation on top, but these flat ones tended to wear quickly. Side-seal 98%, also nice. Deserving of a cased set.	525 sold
32 Short		UMC "Dog Logo" round-crnr "Patent" box, ca 1885, w/ picture of S&W spur-trigger revolver. Side-seal approx 95%. Nice, cln & solid.	315
32 Short		Western "Bullseye" box, clean!	85
38 Long		Crittenden & Tibbals, RARE "Crossed Rifles" picture bx w/18 un-headstamped rds (which I assume to be original). Box lid has been pasted back after having come loose and been folded. Other edge repairs evident but well done. All 4 sides display well with 95%+ side lbl remaining on the brown/gold mottled design box. Sticker on one end, mostly removed from other. This company name only in business 1864-1866 when bought by Schuyler Hartley & Graham. It then became part of Union Metallic Cartridge & Cap Co. in 1866 when that company was originally formed (before becoming UMC in Aug, 1867). An EMPTY, unrepaired (though by no means perfect) box would be priced at $1500!	500 sold
38 Long		Winchester. Green label blk pwdr box w/ "Fancy Wraco" logo on left end (see front cover, Giles & Shuey). Side lbl 99%.	140 sold
38 Short		US Cartridge Co, the famous "Woodcut" box. Ahead of its time as a 1-pc bx w/ slide-out tray, this is a rare variation (most were standard 2-pc lift-top bxs). The graphics, however, are what most noticeably set it apart from other boxes of the 1870s period: 2 game scenes, 4 stacked rifles, 2 pistols and the elaborate center shield. Full of its original & desirable "Raised US" headstamped cartridges. Side lbl 85%. A terrific, collectible box!	185 sold
9 m/m RF Ball		Remington-UMC. Scarce 9 M/M RimFire "Ball" cartridges for the Winchester Model 36 shotgun (and "9m/m Flobert & other rifles" as stated on the side-seal label). The 9m/m RF Shot boxes can be found with some regularity but the "Ball" loading is hard to find. This labeling, obviously for export as well as domestic sale, is the only one in this loading of which I am aware by Rem-UMC. And IT'S SEALED!	100
9 m/m RF Long Shot		Winchester. Black powder, earliest box (lbl-dtd 10-19). SEALED. See Giles & Shuey p.243. Easy to find in red Smkls bxs but VERY difficult in black powder. The ctdgs inside will not be red, they'll be the seldom-seen blue.	425 sold
9 m/m RF Long Shot		Winchester, 2-pc box full of the orig red paper-tubed shells for the M36 Win. Exceptionally clean label--nicer than most sealed boxes--nearly perfect!	195
41 Short		Navy Arms. Recent (ca 2000?) production but no longer being made.	85
41 Swiss		Remington Kleanbore, postwar box, clean & solid.	175 sold
42 "No.64" Forehand & Wadsworth		UMC, early "Double Dog" logo box of this scarce F&W rifle caliber. Ca late-1870s. Full of orig unheadstamped rds which appear native to the box. This is a box that is RARELY offered for sale!	500 sold
.56-50 Spencer		C.D. Leet, in business under this name only from 1864-1866 (C.D. Leet & Co--1862-64), then sold to Schuyler, Hartley & Graham in 1866, becoming part of the Union Metallic Cartridge Ctdg & Cap Co (1866-67), predecessor to UMC (Aug 1867). Obviously a very significant, historic and short-lived name in the fast-changing earliest days of American cartridge companies. This box contains 42 rds in 6 pkts of 7 rds each, corresponding to the magazine capacity of the Spencer rifle. The lid top label was the only labeling on these boxes (click on it to see scan @ 100%). The back & front are plain (front shown, scanned @ 50%). Rds will have "CDL" headstamps. Solid, nice box!	775 sold
