Vintage primers. Hard to believe condition considering the age of some of these.

Wanted some items but had to buy the whole darn box at a gun show this past weekend.

Don't know what that cost you, but you sure got a bunch of interesting old boxes to look at. I'd be happy with it!

Great buy for a collector. I don't believe I remember any of those labels. I would think that they must date back to the 1950s at least.

I found some on google in the 1910 - 1915 range, some I can't even bring data up on, ether way there is some cool facts on line about some. I'm sure the right person will come a long that can use them. A large number of the boxes are unopened.

Cool.
They probably will still fire, but I'd check out if some of the older ones are corrosive.

A simple test is load one in a brass, and a 2nd known good/new one in another case.
Fire them both at a clean steel plate. Leave the plate outside awhile.
A corrosive primer will rust the plate pretty quickly compared to new ones..

Very good advice, thank you. There are some large rifle that I'll likely give a try but before all the hoopla with pricing, I stocked up on the other ones that I generally use.

Nice! The boxes alone are probably worth something to collectors.
