Old Ammo questions??

[hipshot]

I have come across some very old ammo most in boxes, some good and some not so good. Are there any collectors in the OSA family that might be able and willing to help me figure out what it is worth?
Examples: .41 short rim fire in the unopened box
.45 auto rim
45-60
.32-20
too dang much to mention, I know some of this stuff is over 100 years old.

Might make a list and snap some pictures.. then send it to the J.M. Davis gun museum in Claremore, OK. They may know of some collectors who might be interested. Ols ammo in original boxes is a collectable. Also, some museums will accept donations or loans of items for display... and add a note to the display with the name of the donor.

Wow, D. Sounds pretty cool. I've sometimes hunted for older ammo on Gunbroker but most of the time, the high asking price coupled with the shipping cost is a deal breaker. You might want to check out Old Western Scrounger. He'd most likely be a buyer on some of it.

PM sent. Sounds like the potential is there for some good stuff.

Just like anything else, it all depends on the three factos of desireability, rarity and condition. I can probably help you get a solid ballpark though.
