Thanks for sharing, these are all really neat!
Great! And I thought I had some cans that had been around a long time....
wow!! i love the oldies. it is great that some of us saved them in stead of chucking them. keep em cumming!.
About 5 years ago I threw a 15 gallon plastic bag full of the old metal powder cans away, IMR, Hercules, Winchester, Remington, etc. . Such a dumb move, I regretted it within days of doing it. A case of spring cleaning getting out of hand. james
Neat, thanks for sharing all.
Sparky, DO NOT do as TNsailorman did and throw them away. They are the end of an era. Plastic is king now and the metal cans will have value, some do already.

Good advice, they will remain on the shelf.
fivgunner,
nice collection! I especially like the early unique and wood powder cans.
Here's a few oldies
DuPont No. 1 bulk smokeless was used in factory b.p cartridges....45-70/ .45-90, etc.
28 grs occupied the same space as 70 grs of b.p.
