Big thanks out to member Bob Jurewicz for hooking me up with these.

Very nice! Single specimens of any paper shotshells are difficult to find in decent (pristine) condition, and usually command a premium, especially at auction. Full, or even partial, boxes in such nice condition are even harder to find. They will look nice on display or in your collection. Cheers!

Finding full boxes is tough, but they are out there. There was a nice one on Ebay last week, but it got pulled for listing is as full.
I love Peters stuff. I try and get pairs of every one I can find. The lithography on them, especially English ones, Is very nice.

Now that is just way cool Mr. Spencer

Edgar, that is a very nice 'Salesman's Kit'. They command premium prices. A great find!
