Kent Fasteel. Wonder why this is here? Let me tell you...If was given to me by Kent to evaluate before they put them in production. It has no load data stamped on it. It NEVER HAD SHELLS IN IT. I told them it was a nice box but to move the lettering out of the graphic area and put it below so the beautiful image of the geese showed up better, attracting more attention. Alas they didn't listen and missed a golden opportunity to issue a really nice box. Their loss, your gain. I doubt there were more than a handful of these printed without the loading data. UNIQUE. (Box is wrapped in clear plastic that distored and dulled the image. Box is Mint. In time, I will get a better pic, or if you want to see a better one call or email.) $15


Peters High Velocity. I love this box. Just beautiful. This one is 20ga, FULL and has the very desirable KING'S MILLS address. Very Good condition. $65



Eclipse. FULL. This box has so many unique features it is a sleeper in many ways. Size: it is a 20 round box, very unusual. It is the only box that has the graphics continue all the way around, all 4 sides! And the shells are all plastic, no brass. A word to the wise: the man who writes articles about collectible shotshell boxes bought all that I had with me at a recent show. Watch for them to show up in a future article. You might want to buy them BEFORE that comes out. Very minor rubbing to edges, SALE PENDING (OT)



Holiday. Duck and Pheasant Load. 16ga. Pair mallards on one side and pair ringnecked pheasants on other. These Hoilday boxes are the only shotshell boxes ever printed that had the artist's name on them. The artwork was created by Les Kouba. Top flap has 1 inch tear where it folds and goes inside front panel, otherwise perfect. $50

Remington UMC Nitro Club, Duck Load. 2 piece. 12ga. Top label is chipped and faded, edges torn, otherwise box and lables are very good. Age of this box is evident when you read the list of species this load is suitable for: Pheasant, Rabbit, Hawk, Crow, etc. Hawk! Aw, the good old days. $65



Remington UMC Nitro Club, Duck Load. 2 piece. 20ga. Slightly newer version, Hawk has been dropped for suitable uses, how politically correct.
