Vintage shot shell box Hurry!
For sale on Ebay-
From the box: J.C. Higgins Sportload Shotgun Shells Disintegrating Shot Wad
Waterproof Paper Smokeless Powder J.C. Higgins hunting equipment is sold only by Sears Roebuck and Co.
3 1/4 dram equivalent 1 1/8 ounce #8 25 12 gauge shells (the shell is shown only to help the collector identify the vintage of this old antique shell box and is not included with the sale)
Inside flap (not shown) has very good advice about not putting 20 gauge shells in 12 guage guns and never to use these shells in guns having damascus barrelsor twist steel barrels.
I assume this box is from the late 1940's or early 1950's prior to Ted Williams endorsing products for Sears. I received it from a fellow who was quite the hunter on the Saginaw Bay (Bay City, MI) in the 50's.
