Re: Anybody Collect Paper Shotgun Shell?

Funny how fast time passes, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. LOL But if you look at it this way, say I'm 50 now, and when I was a kid, we still had shell and bullets from my Grandparents, so they could now be 80-100 years old.

Re: Anybody Collect Paper Shotgun Shell?

Thanks Griff and 375hh1973, The only time I shot any paper shell, was in 1983, we came in for breakfast one morning during deer season. We left the rifles out in the trucks and cars, no sense in fogging up the outside of the lenses and have to reclean them. Anyway, as we are sitting having breakfast...

Anybody Collect Paper Shotgun Shell?

I found some recently and they are I think from the late 20's through the 40's, maybe 50's?

I have Peters, Rem-UMC, Western, and a couple oddball ones.
They are interesting, with the information on the top of the shell.

I would love more information.
