I have a full vintage box of 16 ga 2 9/16" Winchester Ranger shot shells circa 1940's as far as I can tell, similar to the picture I linked.

I would grade the box at a B -. The edges are frayed a bit, and the tuck-in part of the top cover is creased. The shells are near factory-fresh pristine. The brass is still slightly shiny. They have been in my family for at least 50 years, maybe even since new.
I see the empty boxes selling for $50-$100 on eBay, and I'm curious what the whole package would be valued at. I can't find anything comparable online.
I'm not looking to sell, just curious.

Thanks, and thanks for the link. It's a curiosity for me.
I won't sell them. I'll likely give them to my son-in-law. he's a hunter.
