OK, I inherited a lot of ammunition from my Father in Laws estate. Some of it was plain old .38 Special and .357 magnum and recently bought.
Some of it was antique looking ammunition....going thru the .22 this evening checking how much of what we had, I found 2 full boxes of 500 "Superior" .22 short. They have unopened boxes of 50 rounds and the boxes seem to be in pretty fair condition. Like this only in .22 short:
I also have some really old boxes of .32 ACP, 32. S&W and shotgun shells. Is this stuff "collectible"? On the site I got the Superior Cartridges pix from I saw that a box like this is worth maybe $120. Not that I'm crazy for money *but* I am not a collector and I know folks who collect stuff ike knives and things.
I'm never gonna shoot the ammunition nor do I appreciate the cool old ammo and boxes. Should I consider putting this stuff into the hands of folks who will really enjoy it from a collectible point of view? Letting them sit in boxes in the basement when someone else could get a thrill out of them bothers me.
Looking for opinions and perspective and thank you in advance!
