Brown Truck Brought Vintage Rimfire Ammo!

[doc540]

Got lucky and found a deal on some vintage rimfire ammo from the '40's and '50's.

All the Kleanbore and Wester SuperX is like new.

Started out looking for collectible ammo to match my 1953 K-22 and ended up with this!

Nice I had some but I sold it years back cause I need the space.

I have a vintage Remington .22 ammo display case full of those boxes of ammo, wont be selling it anytime soon.

yep, value's moving right on up the scale!

I have shot a bunch of that, great find...............

I have a couple boxes of that Kleenbore i got in a trade. I even shot some (it was a partial box) no misfires.

I don't know what it is that appeals to me when it comes to those older boxes . Is it just the memories or was the packaging & colors just that much better ?
I had a good many older boxes I gave to my brother when he started collecting old ammo. I still have a few boxes of this type that are also in mint condition ,and I can't bring myself to shoot them.

Nice find. I bought almost a full brick of the Super X in that same box style (shorts). I got them at an auction a few years back for $1 a box at the time. Nice to see this stuff preserved.

Hello friends and neighbors // Nice snag/save, the boxes look great.

I've seen some of the Kleanbore locally but the boxes where too rough.

I must be getting old if the Win. Super-X grey box and Remington ( are they Yellow Jackets?) are collectible.

I have a box of Winchestar expediter ammo... Wonder what it's worth now?

"I have a box of Winchestar expediter ammo... Wonder what it's worth now?"

Dunns is great for info, while Gunbroker, and Ebay (boxes only) are a pretty good indicator of value. Used the advanced search for ended items.

Pretty cool acquisition. I used to buy older 22 ammo, but I didn't see any great potential in collecting it other than it's fun and fits with my interests. I wouldn't mind having a couple boxes of the Kleanbore and Super X if for nothing else as props in pictures.

That was my plan, too. Just tried to buy a box or two.

But the seller said he had multiple boxes and no use for it and gave me a super (X) deal.

Currently the old stuff is selling from $15 to $20 per box depending on condition.

I have a couple of these. Any info on them? How old? Any value?

TIA

Search Gunbroker and Ebay (boxes only) for values.

Good luck!

A few years ago a friend of mine gave me several boxes of Remington Kleanbore rimfire ammo along with some in .32 S&W and .32 ACP. Someone else had given the ammo to him and he was going to get rid of it because he didn't have any guns in those calibers. I was more than happy to take it as I love the look of those vintage boxes.

Those Hi-Speed Kleanbore boxes make me think of Christmas. Cool packaging!

Didn't know someone put Dunns book in PDF. I searched high and low for that book in the '90's and finally gave up.
