    How old do you suppose this is?

    I found this at a garage sale a little while back and have been checking my boolits with them... But I got to wondering... How old do you suppose this can is?

    I have one just like that. Bought back in the mid 60's. Mine are 30 cal.

    I have that same tin, 35 cal. , purchased in 1968. My first gas checks .
    I keep it because some companies use thin cardboard boxes that fall apart.
    50 years and that tin container still working .

    The Hornady gas checks I have, that I bought in the late 1970s (I think) for 44 mag are in a red box.
    Be careful,
