At One Time .22 Rimfire Rounds.....

[MacAR]

In 1896 peters 22 longs & lr's sold for $2.50 per 100

Might ought to double check that; in the add above, it looks like they're $6/ thousand. That would work out to sixty cents per hundred.

I used to do some work for the owner of a small gunshop several miles north. Work that he either didn't want to bother with, or was afraid to attempt. He called one day to have me come pick up a rifle where half of a slotted screw head broke off and he wanted me to get the screw out of the receiver. Once I brought the rifle back to him he asked me how much? I pointed to his dusty ammunition shelf and said I'd like three boxes of each of those .22 rimfire cartridges. His face lit up as he was happy to get rid of 'em as they were relatively new .22 rounds and all the locals, at that time, only wanted Remington or Winchester .22 rounds, Federal, if he was out of the others:



All are still full boxes of ammunition.

I have some old Sears branded 22 LR. Not sure who actually made it but it is heads tamped S for Sears. Also have a small cardboard box of 22 LR and the cases appear to be a copper wash over brass. No clue what those might be.
