    You might look at Ward's Auctions for comparables. These days the primers might be worth quite a bit!

    Those were available in the late 50s as I recall. When I started loading shotshells. Never had the money to buy new hulls. Always used pickup./beagle

    Hi John,
    These came from an older gentleman who was 'THE' reloader in my area in the 50's and 60's. I'm thinking about keeping them and using for slug shells. A new paper hull will roll crimp much better than a fired plastic. I have boxes and boxes of card wads, a Lyman slug mold, and the rifling die that need to be used.

    Didn't post picture of the 16 guage. Now I wish I still had the old Stevens 311 double barrel.

    Have several boxes of the loaded 12ga ones. Before I moved, sold several plastic bags of the empties that I collected at the range in the Service
    Regards
