Description

Collector Lot: Six Full Ammunition Boxes & U.S. Military 7.62mm M80 Ammo Can

A collector's lot of six factory-loaded ammunition boxes paired with a U.S. military surplus 7.62mm M80 ammo can. The boxes include vintage graphics from Remington (Dove/Quail Load 20 gauge, 2¾", 8 shot and .357 Magnum 158 gr. Lead Semi-Wadcutter, R357M5), Estate Cartridge Inc. Heavy Game Load 20 gauge, 2¾", 1 oz., 7½ shot (two boxes), HSM Police Ammunition .38 Special 158 grain Semi-Wadcutter from Stevensville, MT, and Zero Bullet Co. of Cullman, Alabama — .38 Special, 148 gr. WCHB, 50 cartridges. The steel ammo can is stenciled in yellow: "420 CARTRIDGES 7.62MM M80 LOT WCC 6568," indicating Winchester Cartridge Company production — the can itself is empty.

The illustrated game-bird and hunting-dog graphics on the Remington and Estate boxes capture the golden era of American sporting-goods packaging, while the .38 Special and .357 Magnum boxes reflect the law-enforcement and revolver market of the same period. Original retail price stickers remain on the Estate boxes. The military can offers period-correct storage and remains functional for collector display or general utility.


CONDITION

Good overall. Cardboard boxes show shelf wear, light edge bumps, and minor soiling consistent with age and storage; original retail price stickers present on several. The ammo can shows expected scuffs, scratches, and paint wear to the olive drab finish with stenciling fully legible.
