Condition report:
The green and black cardboard boxes display significant signs of shelf wear and age, including scuffed edges, corner fraying, and some tearing to the flaps. The Whittier .303 caliber box shows a significant tear on the bottom front edge, and the top box exhibits old price stickers and blue ink markings. The bullet projectiles themselves show varying degrees of surface tarnish and oxidation to the copper jackets and lead tips consistent with long-term storage. The bullets appear to be in usable condition for reloading purposes despite the aged packaging.
