Found a deal on some shotshells at an Estate Sale last weekend. Two boxes of Fiocchi #2 steel shot and 2 boxes of Remington ShurShot #9's.
Also included in the deal was a partial box (15 shells) of these old paper shells. Got everything for $40.
Couple of questions about the paper shells. When I 1st started hunting back in the early 70's dad had a partial box of paper 12 ga shells that I just assumed he had had forever. I always thought they went to plastic after or during WW-2. But doing some research it seems they made them into the 1960's. Any input on that.
Also, any idea when these may have been made. The graphics on the box just scream 1950's to me but I don't know.
