anyone collect old ammo?

Post by **CCRBUM** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 5:30 pm

not sure if this is the best section for this but I've got a few cigar boxes of old ammo that belonged to my grandfather... also have what I think is 8mm on stripper clips... Just curious if anyone knows old ammo or if it has any value other than sentimental value.. I'm gonna try to dig through stuff tonight and get some pictures of stuff... anyone able to help if I have pictures?

I'd like a sampling of the oddities and ammo that one doesnt come across everyday. Don't know what any of the values would be though.

well I'll dig through stuff tonight and get some pics up either tonight or tomorrow.. I remember there being a lot of 22LR... boxes were fun.. I'm a sucker for old boxes

ok here is what I've found thus far... I seem to be missing a few cigar boxes...

most of the 22LR boxes are full... the center fire are partial.. the 32 long and 32 S&W are mostly full though... I think my favorite box is the box for the 38!

My dad still shots from a case of mini mags he bought in the early 60s I think it was $5.99 for 500 rounds or something stupid cheap like that

How much for one box of the KleanBore and that Hi-Power on the top right?
