Paper shotgun shells

[spar1790]

Help. I ran across a bunch of paper shotgun shells. Any one have an idea of what they are worth and an approximate age. 12 and 16 gauge as well as some .410s.

Perhaps the experts with the knowledge you seek don't frequent this forum. Have you checked prices on gunbroker, or googled them?

I have come accross and sold these, sometimes getting $5-$20 for an empty box. I never tried to sell the shells yet. Your shells look like they were exposed to alot of moisture and probably not going to go for much.

I don't think they are worth very much, some are in pretty rough shape. I have sold some old ones before, but seems like it was worth more to just use them. Afterall, they still make and sell paper shells.

Dad told me a funny story about my pap who used some old paper shotgun shells while rabbit hunting. Apparently, they got wet and then sat for a few years, the lead corroded into cylindrical slugs. The only rabbit he hit was completely tore in half from the slug.
