Gun Collectors Dream Auction #83 May 2nd & 3rd TWO DAYS - NO RESERVES - 1200 LOTS!
Lot 1342:
Description
This lot consists of three vintage Winchester-Western one-pound metal canisters of smokeless ball powder propellant. The collection includes one canister of Winchester-Western Ball Powder 630, labeled for center fire pistol, revolver, and rifle loads with a pink-highlighted label section. The second canister retains the Winchester-Western branding at the top but has suffered significant label loss, obscuring the specific powder type designation. The third canister is Winchester-Western Ball Powder 680, designated for center fire rifle loads with a green-highlighted label section. Key markings on the canisters include the Winchester-Western logo and the specific powder designations where visible, along with the 1 pound weight designation. The lot is noted to contain approximately 2.5 Lbs of Powder across the three containers. These items are sold as vintage reloading components and historical collectibles.
Condition report:
The metal canisters exhibit significant surface rust and oxidation on the lids, bases, and threaded caps. The paper labels show heavy wear, including staining, peeling, and tearing. The center canister is missing approximately 70% of its original paper label, leaving the bare metal exposed. The powder contents appear to be present, though the chemical integrity, stability, and performance of the propellant have not been tested.
