They are wonderful boxes. 28 gauge stuff is so rare. When I was released from military service in 1969, I returned home and immediately started haunting the local gun stores. I visited "The Sportsman" in Bethesda, Maryland. My first "find" was a minty cased Westley Richards bar in wood eight gauge with two unopened boxes of Remington Arrow 1 3/4 ounce loads, one BB and one #2 enclosed in the original trunk case. I succumbed to the offer to sell the shells for about what I paid for the gun. I accepted $500 for the two boxes of shells from a midwest ammo collector. What a mistake that was. I wish I had those two boxes of shells today. I have had a chance to buy another similar box within the past ten years, but did not take advantage. I have also seen a full wood case of these shells advertised in a collectors publication, but they were sold when I responded to the ad. I have never seen such an item for sale since, even an empty wood box.
