UMC “Club” 10 Gauge Brass Hulls:
Sourced 19 of these in nice condition. They are 2-3/4”, will work in two of my 10’s. Just a bit long for the “Short 10”. After a tumble in stainless pins & Dawn detergent they’ll look like new. Manufactured from 1885-1910. They were a bit less expensive than the modern reproductions. It would be nice to find some 3” ones, I’m not holding my breath for those to show up any time soon. You never know.
