25 Long Stevens		Peters. "Rustless", clean & solid post-war box, all orig ctdgs.	$135
25 Short or Long Stevens	See also "Obsolete Ammo" page.	WHEN IN STOCK: CIL/Canuck, blu/yel bxs, Rem Klnbore, Western "Bullseye" or Peters "Rustless". Post-war mfg.	see "Obsolete" page
30 Long		Winchester. Early black pwdr box, ca 1870s. While there is evidence of tape removal from the top and 2 sides (& the side-seal lbl has been cut on those 2 sides) this box is still SEALED!	$250
30 Long		Winchester. Sealed box as above but nicer top top label and nearly perfect side-seal label.	$300 sold
30 Short		Remington-UMC. Black powder 2-pc bx. Side-seal 99%+. [I owe 2 guys a call on this but lost my list; 1st come, 1st served from here on I guess]	$300 sold
32 Extra Short		Winchester. FULL, EARLY (pre-1900) box of this very scarce & much in demand caliber for the Rem Rider and Chicago & Minneapolis palm pistols. Ctdgs, while apparently not all native to the box, are 100% correct impressed "H" rds. Side label is virtually 100% and, in the shrink-wrap, actually can't be told from factory-sealed. Well above average box!	$1600 sold
32 Extra Short		Winchester. Same as above: Black pwdr, early (pre-1900), solid 2-pc box w/ 17 original impressed "H" head-stamped rds (2 have been struck). Side label 96-97%. Nice.	$550 sold
32 Extra Short		Winchester. Blk pwdr, 2-pc box w/ 10 orig impressed "H" headstamped rds.	$475 sold
32 Short		New York Metallic Ammunition Co. EXTRAORDINARILY RARE BOX! This spur-trigger revolver "picture box" is ca 1866-67! The fragile label shows some even, light scuffing but there is no loss of text or graphics. Box is solid (tho left end of lid is replaced) and contains 3 original cartridges. This box is from the George Kass collection--no better pedigree or provenance exists!	$950
32 Short		Peters "Quick Shot". So titled because it is loaded with their "famous Quick Shot Powder" as quoted from their labeling on the side of the box. Thought to be the earliest box by this historic maker, ca 1890s, these boxes are rare (.22 caliber Quick Shot boxes have sold for over $1000 since the early 1990s)! This box is solid and retains 29 of its original ctdgs. Well over half of the QS boxes I've seen over the years are missing flaps--yes, this is among the earliest of 1-pc boxes--and the flaps are sound!	$125 sold
32 Short		UMC. Desirable "Dog Logo" box, ca late-1870s. Contains 50 UMC rds of which approx 2/3 are original unheadstamped rds with the balance bearing early "U" headstamps. Solid & colorful early box!	$250 sold
32 Short		Winchester. Blk pwdr 2-pc box, ca 1890. Red side-seal 95%+, 29 original ctdgs. Great display box w/ a clean, bright, virtually flawless top label!	$125 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		Montgomery Ward. "Cleanfire", black powder 1-pc box with bright, metal-tabbed corners on the inner tray. Ctdgs are unheadstamped and clean with bright gold (copper-coated) bullets. This box & ctdgs prob made for Wards by Western. Great box from the tail end (1930?) of black powder loadings!	$150 on hold
32 Long		UMC. Black Powder box, ca 1890s. Red side-seal label is 99.5% and still SEALED! Black powder bxs from this era and in this condition are becoming quite scarce, especially sealed! Also bear in mind that .32 RF boxes have a much higher rarity factor than .38 RF boxes	$175 sold
32 Long		Winchester. Post-war K-code box, ca 1946-51. Full of its orig, native-to-the-box ctdgs. Bottom has old price in crayon otherwise clean all over w/ no splits or other problems.	$135 sold
32 Long or Short	Navy Arms, Canuck/CIL, other makers	Also please see "Obsolete" page and check "Bargain Bin".
9 m/m Ball		Rem-UMC. Very early (ca 1919-20) box in this caliber. The 4-language "export" box is the only one I have seen by this maker (see next listing for Winchester box), suggesting that it was the same for both domestic & foreign sales. Bright & colorful, this box is also SEALED!	$95 sold
9 m/m Ball		Winchester. Early SEALED blk pwdr box, ca 1920. This is the much scarcer & more desirable "Domestic" box as opposed to the more commonly found "Export" (4-language) box. (See Giles & Shuey, pg 242). This box has gone at auction for over $500!	$425
9 m/m Long Shot Lesmok		Winchester. This is the seldom encountered Lesmok loading. Though found in this "Smokeless" labeled box, these very scarce green Lesmok shells, to the author's knowledge, have been found in no other labeling (see Giles & Shuey, pg 241). This rare box has 14 original cartridges (which, for years, I've seen priced in the $10-15 range). For the advanced collector of the several interesting varieties of this great little cartridge!	$150
9 m/m Long Shot		Winchester. Red, paper-tubed "mini" shot shells for the Win Mod 36. Shells are clean & native to the box. Bright & solid, NICE!	$250
38 Short		Winchester. Black Powder 2-pc box, ca 1880s. Some edge separation (not noticeable in shrink-wrap) but red, early style side-label ("38 SHORT. R. F.") is still SEALED!	$125
38 Short		Winchester. Black Powder box, ca late-1890's/early-1900s (pre-1906). A couple minor dings but box is solid and the orange side label is 100% and SEALED! Very hard to find black pwdr bxs that are still sealed!	$150 sold
38 Short		Winchester. Black Powder box, ca 1907-10. Side-label approx 80%. Ctdgs all appear native to the box.	$100 sold
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!	sold
38 Long		UMC, as above but not sealed (side-seal approx 95%). Still, it's full of its orig, native-to-the-box ctdgs and corners & edges are all sound.	$90 sold
41 Short		Navy Arms. Recent (ca 2000) production but no longer being made.	call
41 Short		UMC. Two-pc Blk Pwdr box, ca 1890. Minor surface smudges but solid with tight seams/edges. Nice!	$375 sold
41 L RF	Photo'd in shrink-wrap	UMC. Ca 1880s, this is a SEALED box of 41 Long RF. A seldom seen, rather obscure cartridge & box (esp relative to the 41 S RF) but the guns for which it was chambered were numerous and significant: the Hammond "Bulldog", Reid "Knuckleduster" and Colt "Cloverleaf" among others. The only real flaw is the label loss in the upper right corner. Side-seal and bottom labels are virtually all there! Rare find!	$350 sold
41 S RF		Remington-UMC. Blk pwdr, 2-pc box, ca 1915. Rough, but full of correct rds. Side-seal label 90%.	$130 sold
41 Swiss		Peters. Clean 1-pc box w/ ctdg pic, ca 1940s. Exceptional!	$175
41 Swiss		*Winfield Arms, L.A., CA, distributor; ammo by Leon Beaux, Italy. SEALED box of 20 (tho transparent tape criss-crossed on bottom). The last of this caliber made by ANYBODY, ca 1950s.*	$150
44 Henry	SINGLE ROUNDS	Have a few for sale priced according to age, maker, headstamp, bullet type, case length, condition, etc.	$25-50
56-.56 Spencer		Unknown maker. Sealed, unmarked 7-pack of the type used in 1860s 42-rd boxes (see above).	$140
