The UMCC pistol cartridges box, and the Wards cleanfire box get my attention.

Man those are neat. Thanks for sharing. How old is that UMC box that oldschool mentions?

[abunaitoo]

I've looked for dates on most of the boxes, and none of them have any.
I'm guessing they didn't think it was important back then.
Probably not important now, because I don't recall seeing dates on new ammo.
So many different companies made .22 ammo back in the "good old days".

Some of those make my Montgomery Wards labeled box look new.

I have a few old boxes too, some full or partially full (not pristine). A relevant question: is there any point in keeping the original ammo with them, or just shooting it up and keeping the boxes? They're nice old boxes but nothing pristine.

[Bazoo]

Personally I'd keep the ammo and occasionally shoot a few just for the enjoyment. I wouldn't burn it through a semi auto just cause.

[Walks]

I recognize all of them, except the "Seeker".
Where is that from ? Who made it ?

GONRA's sez those are all COLLECTOR ITEMS.
