I'm sure they're collectible to someone but I'm no expert. Have a couple full boxes of paper shotshell and some loose ones also. Friend of mine just picked up some 16 ga paper shells but he plans on sending them down range.

Back in the 70's my grandfather had some old buckshot 12 gauge rounds he said i should shoot them up as they were surplus WWI ammo. They all shot well but i forgot about the corrosive priming !

I have about 400 rounds in the origional case of 12GA Sears #5 in paper hulls, plus a near 90% box of Remington 12 and 16 gauge paper hulls. I plan on shooting the Sears ammo, but the others might be "collectible"

It's going to take that one person who needs those shells to finish a display, probably of a model 12 , or Win. Model 97,to be able to sell them as collector rounds. Are they part of history? Heck yeah, they are for sure! Maybe a military museum? I'd store them correctly and keep your eyes open for the right person. Gunshow would be a great place to start. Just my opinion. Good luck to you.

I believe those shells are military issue, least ways I've seen boxes just like that, same size shot, from RA that was used for guard duty in the army.
