Wanda Cartridge Company was in Manvel, Texas, a suburb of Houston from 1965 to 1972. I was still in college and shooting at the old Seattle Skeet & Trap Club at Redmond, WA, and the Wanda sales rep came by giving out sample boxes. Of course I shot the box I was given at trap (I was on the dark side at that time), but I saved one shell. Skip ahead to the middle 70s, and on one of my first trips to Kodiak, AK, I found a box of 20-gauge Wanda shells while walking by the edge of the old Kodiak dump to get down to the beach. I took them back to Elmendorf AFB and shot them up at skeet at the Chugach Rod & Gun Club next door at Ft. Rich. Pictures from a recent Ward's Auction --
