So, who scored the two great 8-gauge boxes in the Wards Auction?

I looked and looked, but had visions of the shipping cost. The Remington box was a real deal.

How much did they go for?

The extremely rare 50 round Winchester box for 8-gauge NPEs with 20 rounds remaining went for $750 when they were predicting $1500 to $3000. The extremely late (after 1934 because it has the DuPont logo) full box of Remington ARROW 8-gauge, 5 1/2 dram equiv., 1 3/4 ounce #2C, went for $352.

The one box of shotgun shells and three paper items I was interested in went for pocket change short of two grand before the vig and shipping, so my credit card came away unscathed!!

the remington 8 ga were a bargain and the winchester were worth the money i already had a box of the remington 8 ga but at this time i passed on them winchester 8 ga...i do love to look at those old 8 ga boxes and loads....charlie

I also liked the Eley eights, although they were modern. Can't remember the price.
