I got a load of old shot shells from my father in law. Most of them are Federal, but a few other brands mixed in (like Sears) #6 steel shot, a few #2 and #4, all paper hulls. A few of them look like they might have some water damage and others have some corrosion on the brass, but the end wad and wax are all still intact. I figure they are safe to shoot, but I was wondering more about collector value.
How long ago did Sears make paper shot shells?
I got a couple boxes of Federal that look to be from the 70s (one box was marked $4, the other was $3.50) but I can't tell. the prices wer written in grease pencil, not standard sticker tags.
The third box was a Remington that looked much more recent so I'm not concerned about them in any way.
All in all, I have about 30 paper hulled shot shells, just curious about their value. Worth saving or just shoot them at duck?
