Paper shells

[Theodore LeDurt]

The smell of fired paper shells bring back memories of when I was to young to go, but was rewarded with my fathers empties upon his return.

Paper shells remind me also that about 10 years back, I made a deal with an older gentleman who lived close by, to purchase his 10 ga, He gave me two boxes of 2 7/8" paper loads. I thought the boxes had an interesting picture on them and took them to the Midwest Decoy Show in St. Charles, Illinois. When the two boxes were pulled from the bag, a collector made me a great deal, the two sold boxes matched what I had paid for the 10ga.

Wish that could happen more often!
