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.

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

Here are a few more and one of them I have no idea whats inside. I just can't get myself to open it. Someone might know on here. Thomas

I have been slowly acquiring reprinted catalogs for WRA Co., UMC and Remington, plus Eley-Kynoch-Nobel. Peters and Western have been elusive. I will keep looking though. Dave, the Peters book you mention, does it have timelines and such? Are there good photos? I don't want a history of the company that does not illustrate changes and new items. Cheers!

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.
