Collectible Ammunition

I recently purchased several hundred boxes of old, collectible, obsolete ammo for resale. I found something unusual, early Remington two piece box in the original sleeve. Five boxes to a sleeve. The boxes are unopened and new being protected for a hundred years by the sleeve. The question, are they worth more selling individually or as a case in the original sleeve. I can't imagine there are many out there.

IMO, I would think individual on those. Congrats on a wonderful collection of old ammo. I really love some of those old box "pictures" on them.
Sell by the box, but, but,but, would really depend on the buyer.
so much per box with the 'sleave' as an extra if someone buys all
A give-a-way would probably get you another star😲
I would sell them at no less than 225 per box, or all 5 plus the outer box for 1,200 you rarely see full unopened boxes this good & this old being offered and having the outer box is a real find.
back in 2018 a single box Almost as nice as yours but not quite as pristine , went for 175 so I think the prices I quoted would be no problem, heck I might be underpricing them in todays market.
I would first offer only the full set then if no interest after a few weeks/months, think about selling individually.
I doubt you'll ever see another set like this so I would not deal on the pricing at all.
JIMHO of course
Thanks for the input. I am going to the Cody Show next weekend and see what the interest is. If I still have them I will probably list them here.
I have collected old and obsolete ammo since 1964 and I have never seen such a pristine early Rem-UMC box. You can almost name your price on that. Your box was made circa 1916-1919. What else have you got? I love looking at stuff like that!
I have several hundred early boxes. Mostly Winchester. Most are full but some really nice that are empty
These are the empty ones. The full ones are packed for the show
