Can you date this Remington ammo box?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me when Remington stopped putting 'Kleanbore' on the boxes?

(and yes I realize these are ratty boxes w/ no value, I'm just trying to figure out when the ammo inside may have been made.)

    If in pristine condition do those kind of boxes have any collector value? I ask because I found a huge box full of empty boxes that look just like that at my grandfathers house.... mostly .222, .270. .35 and 30.06.

    Many of our local gun shows have a collector/seller at a table.
    Check your local show.

    I'm in Ft Worth/Dallas area.


    I have about 15 boxes that are full of loaded ammo in .30-30 and 30/06.

    A buddy gave them to me when his father died.

    I'm think of selling them myself.

    "so, whats ya doing tonite?......."
    nope, i tried. it wont date me.[:o)]

    condition is everything. do a completed auction search to get an idea about others that have sold. your best bet to sell them is at a local shoot or club. prices to ship them has made buyers leary of paying fair prices for them.
