Need input/advice on old ammunition

DWC83142

I'm planning on selling off some of my collection & I don't know much about ammo & need some advice as to what the values may be, etc..

I have few different items & wanted to get an idea as to what to use for a reserve price, what you think they're worth, etc..

The first one is a small box, Remington, UMC .30 cal 110grs Mushroom Bullets & has 19 in the box that would hold 25 if full. It's dated 1918. I'd say the box is very good condition, though seems yellowed a bit & has a penciled price marking of .65



The next one is Winchester Repeating Arms .22 Long Rifle. It's a small red box, & is in very good shape, though the black text is hard to read on the red unless under bright light & there's 29 out of 50 still in the box. I can't find the date on this one.



Next is Union Metallic Cartridge Co, .32 S&W & has 37 of 50 still in box. Box is missing some of label on sides & I'd say fair to good condition.


Next is a nice excellent condition, full box Winchester .32 automatic Colt 7.65mm Browning Full Patch 74 grain & is dated April, 1920.


I have an empty S&W .32 box in poor to fair condition dated 1858 & a couple old shotshell boxes from I think 1930s but doubt they're worth much, but for most part wanted some feedback on these.

Thanks

The reply Guy gave you on the IAA forum was as accurate as you are going to find. Guy is a long time dealer. The stuff you have is nothing terribly valuable, although the Winchester .22 box will fetch some money. The problem is that, with the exception of the .32 auto box (never a popular item), the condition of all these is at best "fair" and they are not full boxes. If they were something from the 1800s, those factors would matter less, but the market for boxed items assigns the higher premiums to full boxes and condition of the packaging, especially on material of this vintage.

What you have here are the equivalent of pedestrian firearms of the same era which have been used rather a lot and may have some refinishing. I'd be surprised if you could clear $100 on the lot, but I'm not that familiar with the pricing for the .22 boxes.

Sorry!
