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!

those are really nice shells...shell collecting can be addictive as collecting guns.... thanks for the photo... charlie

[OLD GEEZER]

Not as nice condition as yours but great to collect. I wonder the age differance between the two. would you know Thomas

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.

[Mike Stahle]

Now that is just way cool Mr. Spencer

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

There was a later Peters sample box on ebay last week that brought $299, but it was marked 'DuPont'. This set and a Winchester set were given to my dad when he was in High school, and writing a paper on something to do with shotshells. As a kid, I wrecked the Winchester box, for which I will forever be remorseful about.
