With wood dividers I would say pre-1950-1960 but I have never seen "Speer" labeled/branded primers so they may be from a major mfg and then private labeled. I have a lot of old primers and most with wood are very early. Before wood its tins.

"Joined Dates" are deceiving if you factor-in "lurk" dates.
Vernon D Speer used to use his full name on early production projectile boxes... they are very cool.

Maxreloader, If you pass through OTTP on any type of regular basis then I'm quite confident you've seen me. I hang pretty tight to the revolver counter. I generally stop in most every day. The older fellow (Dave)who works there shoots with my group quite often. Just ask any of them about the lead caster and they'll point me out. I'd love to meet you.

I used to pass-through once a week but lately its been more like once a month lol... I have a large deal brewing up near the Chinah Dinah so I have been trying to escape work to make things progress... I'll be sure to pm you next trip through! I'll bring goodies if you pm me what you collect/shoot. Anything .30, .45 and 6.5 I keep, anything else is fair game.

Speer 10 manual has some Speer CCI history in it, might offer you some clues as to year range.
This is not a sale ad, one more offer to buy and the post is deleted.

Those are just plain cool! I love finds like that! I mean I find things like old police ammo boxes neat and not above pulling stuff like that out of the trash can at the range
Neat find you got there!

Never seen speer primers, cool find
200M PRIMERS
Wonder if they are early versions of CCI-250
Dick Speer not Vernon Speer
And I would say the primers were made in late '50 or early '60s

CALL CCI and they may have interest in these primers!!!!!

I bought some old federal lp primers that were boxed like that. I e-mailed federal and they said that they were name in the very early '50's, making them as old as I am. They still shot just fine.
