My friend who has the AHE 10 gauge we were looking at several weeks ago also has a wooden .410 case at his cabin. It now holds electrical and plumbing stuff

John,

The .410 cases are scarce but nothing in rarity compared to the 8 gauges ones. I've owned a couple .410 ones over the years, I've only ever SEEN one 8 gauge and it wasn't for sale.

Uff da! My shotshell collection is comprised of UMC/REM-UMC/Remington/Peters and WRA Co./Western. I do not have many 8s or 4s. Decent specimens command high prices! Bidding on the online auction sites can get pretty wild, too.

I've got some 8 gauge stuff but my 4 gauge collection consists of exactly one factory loaded UMC shell. You can get the primed empty stuff on occasion, but factory loaded is tough and that's the only way I collect them.

Could anyone here tell me approximately what two 4 gauge loaded shells would be worth?
One is high brass, red paper marked "1901 No 4 LEADER"
The other is high brass, green paper marked "WINCHESTER No 4 METAL LINED"

Best Regards, George

Check the online auctions, they turn up sometimes. They bring different prices, it just depends on who's bidding that day. There's no set value for this sort of thing, no book you can look it up in.

P.S. If the gun you've got them for is worth $40,000 then they must be worth $1000 each.

Are the topwads factory printed with load info? If not, they are handloads. the '1901' series of WRA Co. shells were NPEs for handloading. I do not have all the WRA Co. catalogs, but mine are quite specific about the use of the '1901' headstamp. I will do some research for you.
