I have a bunch of current stuff that is used for it’s actual intended purpose, but have been picking up older stuff when I find it at a decent price

Might make a good man cave display with a few more.




I quit school in elementary because of recess.......too many games

I held onto a wooden crate from an order of 7.62x54 for many years. Finally chucked it a few months ago. I’ve got too much junk.

The top one I have a wood power plainer stowed in.
Got at least six different ones that are pictured
They are great for stowing reloads in Wink

I like old ammo cans/crates but also old ammo and the boxes. (When they are full it is even better).

This came from a family of hunters that began collecting in the 1920's.
These are some of the boxes of ammo I picked up the other weekend. A lot of the ammo was black powder rounds dating from the 1920's up. The gentleman's family that had the sale had some amazing animal mounts including a standing polar bear.

The 22 short Remington boxes appear to date around mid 1940's. Price on each individual 22 short box was .27 cents each.

Quite a few of the clamshell boxes are still sealed.
