Trading Table
Offering a wide range of antique, obsolete, and modern ammunition and related items for collectors Cartridge boxes, guns, gun parts, powder flasks and cans, loading tools, and related items for sale or trade.. I will list here cartridge boxes and other gun and ammo related items as I get them in. These will usually be singles, but I will indicate if I have more than one if that is the case. When I do have more than one of an item, the one you receive may not necessarily be the same one pictured on this page, but any condition problems that differ from the pictured item will be discussed prior to finalizing the sale or trade. For foreign sales, cartridges will have to be made inert prior to shipping. Sealed boxes of German WW2 9mm Parabellum.....
. . Full red box of Remington Lesmok Palma Match .22 Long Rifle .....
This box format was introduced by Remington in 1928. The Lesmok powder with its corrosive priming was preferred by American shooters well after the introduction of Remington's Kleanbore priming because the older powder and primer combination was found to produce better accuracy. The bottom of this box is stamped VEEZ73, indicating that the bullet finish used was a hot dip paraffin solution developed by Peters in 1934, and made available to Remington when they purchased Peters. Remington began using this bullet finish in 1935. This box format was dropped from Remington's product line in 1942. This red box is not only pretty but it is in pristine condition. $60 . . . . . . . . . . .

This box is full and in excellent condition. $25 . . . . . . . . . . . . Full 'Target' box of Western Super Match .22 Long Rifle.....
Western introduced this Super Match box format in 1933; the cartridges were loaded with smokeless powder and non-corrosive priming, with a 40 grain Lubaloy coated (copper plated) lead bullet. The Lubaloy coating was dropped soon after introduction, replaced by an unplated greased lead bullet. This box format remained in their product line until the early 1940s. This box is full and in excellent condition. $25 . . . . . . . . . . . . Full box of Winchester Wildcat .22 Long Rifle.......
The Wildcat line if .22 long rifle cartridges was designed to be a promotional brand for sale through discount stores. This box format was introduced about 1980 when Olin Corporation combined the Winchester and Western brands to the single name Winchester-Western. In 1981, after the sale of the firearms part of Winchester-Western to the US Repeating Arms Company, they reintroduced the Winchester brand.

These are full 10 round boxes of 8 x 56mm rimmed cartridges intended for use in the Austrian and Hungariand Model 1895 rifles converted to this caliber in the early 1930s.

New-out-of-the-brick boxes of Super-X .22 short rimfire
These boxes are in excellent condition, as new, and full, having been stored in their original 'brick' since they were made in the mid-to-late 1950s, based on the 'Winchester-Western Division Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation' company name on the back. The product code on the boxes is SX22S. I have several of these available at $10 each.
. . . . . . . . UMC .43 Spanish box
This is a box of 20 fired cartridge cases made by the Union Metallic Cartridge Company for use in the .43 Spanish Remington rolling block rifle and carbine. As the cartridges have Berdan primed folded head cases, I assume they were made in the late 1870s to early 1880s. In very good to excellent condition with some splitting at the corners and edges, I have one of these full of empty shells for $25. . . . DuPont black powder can
Here is an empty DuPont black powder can of FFFFg powder. I'm not sure when this was made, but it has a 29 July 1924 registration date on the label. Aside from a little rust on the bottom of the can and some stains on the label, it is in very good condition. $30 . . . . . .
. Sealed Box of 'Sterile' AK 47 Ammo
A full sealed box of 7.62 x 39 cartridges made in the mid-1960s at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant for use in captured Viet Cong AK47 rifles in Viet Nam. These are pretty standard looking cartridges, but are unusual in that they are unheadstamped to prevent their origin from being apparent. $60 . . WW2 30-06 Ammo
This is a full, opened box of .30-06 ball ammo made in 1942 at the Utah Ordnance Plant. The cartridges are in excellent condition, and are headstamped U 4 2. These early war cartridges would be good with any WW2 display. I have several of these boxes ranging from excellent condition to good with staining. I will sell the best ones first. $30.00 . . . A Sealed Box of 1st Year Production M2 Ball Ammo
With silver colored full metal jacket, staked brass primer, and the headstamp F A 37, the cartridges in this sealed box of .30-06 cartridges were produced during the first year of loading the M2 ball. This box is marked Lot 1982, which was the the 7th lot of ammunition loaded with the M2 bullet, loaded at the Frankford Arsenal in mid-1937. I have several of these boxes. $40.00 . . A Clip of.30-06 Gallery Cartridges
.A 5 round clip for the Model 1903 Springfield rifle, filled with .30-06 Model 1919 gallery practice cartridges. The 140 grain lead bullets make these pretty easy to identify. Like most I have seen, these are headstamped RA H 18, indicating they were made by Remington Arms at their Hoboken, New Jersey plant in 1918. The fact that the headstamp seems to pre-date the model number of the cartridge is explained by the fact that unfired rejected cases were used in the production of these cartridges. I have several of these full clips, all in very good condition. $10.00 . . .
A Full Box of .17-223 New Primed Empties
This is a full box of.17-223 (4.32 x 45mm) new primed empty cases, with brass primer and headstamped R A 6 6, indicating production by Remington Arms in 1966. This cartridge was developed and used in the US Army's unsuccessful SPIW program during the early 1960s. $40.00 . . . Full Box of Kynoch .450/400 3" Nitro Express
. This is a full box of .450-400 Nitro Express with 3" cases and 400 grain soft point bullets. These were likely made in the 1950s to early 1960s, as the fronts of the boxes were stamped with a 'keep out of reach of children' warning beginning around 1962. I have several of these; the boxes and cartridges are in excellent condition. $50 . . . . .. Sealed Box of Frankford Arsenal .30-40 Krag Blanks
.This is a full box of .30-40 Springfield (Krag) Model 1898 blank cartridges, loaded with paper bullets. The box is sealed, however the cartridges tend to have mixed headstamps dating primarily from 1900 to 1904. As indicated by the stamp on the top of the box, they were loaded in April 1905, and were made from fired cases. I have several of these. $40.00 . . .. . Peace flask body in need of a head.....
.
. As new boxes of Sears 'Ted Williams' .22 Long Rifle
These boxes of Sears 'Ted Williams .22 long rifle 'Xtra Range' cartridges were made during the 1970s and are in excellent condition. I have several of these; $8.00 each The empty brick is also available. . . . .. . Peters .30-06 Belted Bullet Sample Set.
. . . Two Hull Color Variations of the U.S. NEW RAPID Shotshell
These two New Rapid new primed empty shotgun shells were made by the United States Cartridge Co in Lowell, Mass. between 1900 and 1910. The black shell is pretty uncommon, but the tan is quite rare. Prior to my finding a small number of these 6 or 7 years ago, only one tan shell was known, and it differs from this one, having a larger primer. Today, fewer than 10 shotshell collectors have one of these tan shells. Both shells are in excellent, unused condition, with just a small buildup of verdigris at the junction of the paper and brass. $300 for the pair. . . . American Buckle & Cartridge Co Special No 12
This 12 gauge SPECIAL new primed empty shotgun shell was made by the American Buckle & Cartridge Company of West Haven, Conn sometime between about 1885 and 1889, when the Ammunition Manufacturers Association (AMA) bought the company out. The AMA was a monopolistic organization made up of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co, the Union Metallic Cartridge Co, the United States Cartridge Co, and the Phoenix Metallic Cartridge Co. This shell is in excellent, unused condition. $100 . . .

Antique muzzle-loading rifle-making tools....
. . I bought these tools over 20 years ago from a dealer who got them from relatives of a Tennessee gunmaker named McInturff. The tools consist of two wood rifling guides with indexers, one of pine for straight rifling and one of a hardwood with an attached handle for gain rifling, 1 rifling rod with wood and steel cutting head intact intended to attach to the end of a guide, 5 square reamers, 1 freshing rod with attached handle, 14 freshing and floating rod ends, and 1 auger for drilling ramrod hole in stock. The picture adds some curvature to the top rifling guide and the square reamers that is not actually present. $2000 for all 26 items

Perfect
for displaying with a Luger or P38, these are sealed boxes of World War 2
German-made 9mm Parabellum cartridges. The box was apparently recycled,

and are headstamped ak St+ 9 44. Made at the what
had been the Sellier & Bellot factory at Vlasim, Czechoslovakia, which
was placed under German
control in 1939. I have several of these in excellent condition at $22
each .
These
are sealed boxes of bullets made by Ralph B. Sisk probably in the 1950s or
1960's. Sisk began making bullets for his own use in loading .22 wildcat
cartridges in 1928. In 1932, he began producing bullets to sell and
continued to do so until his death in January of 1970. It should be noted
that all of his bullets were made on hand operated presses, most of which
he made. I currently have all of those pictured here at $30 per box
of 100.

Here's
an original Peace Flask body that has lost its head. It appears to have spent some time
under water, as all that remains of the two iron screws that held the head
together is just a hint of rust. Aside from scattered dents and
dings, and a stain that is obvious to the left of the hands in the right
picture, the flask is in wonderful condition. The seams of the copper body
are intact, with none of the separation often occurs with the soldered
halves. The Peace flasks were made for the US Government from about 1837 to
about 1858 by N. P. Ames and Batty & Co; the oval shape of the stars and the
round carrying strap rings indicate that this flask was made by Batty
between 1847 and 1858. $400.00 
This
is a Peters sample set consisting of a dummy cartridge with a sectioned
hollow point bullet and headstamped PETERS 30G1906, an intact hollow point
belted bullet, a sectioned hollow point belted bullet, and a fired
(mushroomed) belted bullet, all in a cardboard box. If there was originally
a top to the box, it is now missing. The elastic bands that hold the pieces
in place are stretched and the one holding the dummy has broken. The box
itself is worn and soiled, showing its age. $50
This
is a full box of five 12 gauge blank cartridges for use by law enforcement
with the multi-purpose grenade (MPG) launcher. Inside the box is a sealed
aluminum packet that contains the cartridges. These were produced in the
late 1970s to early 1980s, and are beyond their expiration dates by about 20
years. The headstamp on the cartridges is REMINGTON PETERS 12 GA. The boxes
and cartridges are in very good condition. I have quite a few of these.
$5.00 per box
Another
full box of 12 gauge grenade launching blanks, this one made by Smith &
Wesson. Cartridges have red plastic hulls marked MIGHTY MIDGET 12 GA
LAUNCHING CARTRIDGE, and white latex-like wads. They are headstamped
S&W 12 USA 12. The one in the picture has been sold, but I
have a couple of these remaining, one with ' 6 Pcs' in ink on the label, and
the other with some goldfish damage to the label. $10.00
These sealed boxes of 7.92
x 57mm cartridges were made for use in the Besa tank machine gun. They are headstamped K5 45 IIZ, indicating production at the
Imperial Chemical Industries Kidderminster ammunition plant in 1945. The 'IIZ'
indicates they are Mark II cartridges loaded with nitrocellulose powder. I
have several of these. $15 each
