I have unfortunately been bitten by the vintage shotshell bug but really am an amateur. Found these this weekend. Pretty cool as they are from San Fran or Ca.
Don't really know much about them.... |

In the early days one finds Selby loads being put up in cases by both UMC and Winchester, but then Selby Smelting & Lead Company was taken over by National Lead which also owned U.S. Cartridge Co., so they kind of evolved to the west coast branch of U.S. Cartridge Co.

James,
I used to have a good number of Selby boxes. This is all I have left. PML |

Looks to be Fiocchi shells loaded in Lecco, Italy and rebranded by Alcan.

Alcan Shells
I believe in the early 1950`s Homer Clark Jr. started the Alcan Company Inc. to offer reloading components and quality shotgun shells. Many of the components products offered were imported from Italy. The shotgun shells were loaded at the Alton Illinois
plant. In 1958 empty primed shells listed $3.40 per hundred. 1965 brochure lists trademark brands... Trap3 |
