So the Draper company came up with these shotgun shells in 1864, the back unscrewed and you used a cap on the nipple, screwed the back on and then loaded it.

A few years back a company was making them again, I should have picked up a few. I like the novelty, that's good enough reason.

But now I can't find them online, so I'm hoping some of y'all know where I can pick up something similar.

Thanks!

Well I tried to post pics, apparently I'm too dumb to.

Either host pics elsewhere. Or resize to 1/4 of original size. Even most cell phones are in the 8 megapixel or higher range. So they are at least 4 times to big to be uploaded and viewed here.

I use a simple software called "Irfanview" google it, free download.

Open it, load an image, click image, resize/resample. Original was 4608x 3456.
Choose the 640x480 image size off the right hand side, and save to someplace you can find it. Upload that file. It will work.

https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/draper-shot-shells/12823 here is a post from another forum with details and photos of the originals.

I've been searching and cant seem to find out the company that was making these reproductions.
