Do these have any collector value? Any guess how much? Thanx, Billy

Sorry, but no. They also look like they've reached the end of their reloading life.
|
They're old. Not yellow
|
Old, not yellow, and 20-gauge.
Maybe rare, but not a collectible. Sounds like most of my collections. |
do you have very many of them?
|
I just have the two shown in the pictures. Billy

I’ve picked up a half dozen or so of them over the years . I loaded them all and they’re sitting on the window sill in what was my loading room and now is pretty much a storeroom .

About 6 years ago, Federal put on a promotion to encourage women shooters. Made up a bunch of pink shells in 12 and 20 gauge. They had to recall the 20 gauge shells because they didn't follow the yellow shell convention
|
A Navy Chief I shot with in San Diego had a case of them and gave me two boxes. In December 1973 I safely stored them away at my parents' house in Seattle on my way to Alaska. Next time I saw them they were fifty empties on the loading bench. Dear old Dad had shot doves with them!! I have one Western factory load and one Winchester reloaded in my shell collection. I'd imagine a crisp, full, factory fresh box would have some collector value.

A full box of red paper 20's that pre-date Billy's shells and Dave's vignette. Would look good in a shell collection or with a Model 12 or 21 Skeet gun. :)

I found these early red plastic winchester shells at a gun show years ago. The number 5 shot is my favorite for wild roosters.

No 20’s but I remember when 16’s were red or green, not purple. I still have a few boxes of my dad’s that I’ll never shoot: red Winchester Rangers and green Remington Express. I always liked the green ones and making that the standard 16 color makes just as much sense as purple, which is one of my least favorite colors 🤨!
|
Maybe I've led a sheltered life, but I've only seen purple Federal 16-gauge shells both paper and plastic.
My Remington 16-gauge shells are green, right through the most recent box of Remington Express I've been carrying in the left barrel for Pheasants. Of course, the 16-gauge Remington plastic Game Loads are black. My large stash of compression formed 16-gauge Winchester and Western hulls I reload are all red. |

here are 3 different colored 16 ga paper shells, the middle one is a slug
|
I guess I was under the impression that purple was the given color for 16ga shells like yellow is for 20's. I admit it's been a while since I've bought any so some may have changed. Just looked through my stash...
Federal - purple Herters - purple RST- purple (have had some red ones) Winchester - red (most of these are quite a few years old) Rio - red Fiocchi - blue Remy Game Load - black Remy Express - green (Walmart sticker at $5.99 a box, so...) But I still think they all oughta be green! |
