Those two-piece shotgun shell boxes are from long before the Winchester Model 24 came out. "Bird Scents" was used in the 1931 Western Cartridge Co. calendar. Note the calendar in the background to the right of the window.
This one always makes me think of my Uncle Larry. HE came home after he and my father had been shooting crows at the Monroe Reformatory dump. He came into his basement from his garage, hung his hunting coat on the hook and went upstairs. A few weeks later Aunt Helen noticed a horrible smell from the basement. Larry forgot to put the crows from his coat in the freezer to use for decoys next time out!!
