Description

This lot consists of three canisters of smokeless rifle powder manufactured by the IMR Powder Co. for use in reloading various rifle cartridges. The group includes one one-pound bottle of IMR 4895 with a purple label, one one-pound bottle of IMR 4064 with a blue label, and one one-pound bottle of IMR 3031 with a red label. Each canister is constructed of a black plastic body with a red-painted metal screw-on lid and is marked with a nominal net weight of 1 lb. (454 g), though the total combined weight of the lot is 2.5 Lbs of Powder. Key markings include the IMR logo and specific powder designations on the front labels, while the reverse labels provide extensive safety warnings and manufacturer details for IMR Powder Co., Shawnee Mission, KS. The labels further specify that the product was manufactured in Canada and packaged in the USA. The canisters are in good condition with clear, legible labeling, and the blue label canister retains an orange price sticker.


Condition report:

The canisters are in good physical condition with the black plastic bodies remaining intact and free of significant damage. The labels are well-preserved and entirely legible, showing only minor shelf wear. The red-painted metal lids show some light scratching and small points of finish loss consistent with age. The contents have not been weighed individually or tested for chemical integrity, and the lot is sold as 2.5 Lbs of Powder across the three containers.
