Additional text on the reverse identifies the Winchester Group in East Alton, IL, and the lot number 1WB70NT.

Condition report:
The outer cardboard packaging exhibits moderate shelf wear including scuffed corners, surface rubbing, and a partial tear on the top closure flap. Old adhesive tape residue is visible across the top of the box. The cartridges themselves appear to be live and remain in good overall condition with bright brass cases, though some copper-plated bullets show minor surface oxidation and dulling consistent with long-term storage.
