Lot 172:
Sold for: $65
Description
This lot contains a collection of 300 Rounds of Remington Hi-Speed Kleanbore .22 Short rimfire ammunition organized in six original cardboard boxes. The group includes four boxes of index number 1022 containing cartridges with solid lead bullets and two boxes of index number 1122 containing hollow point cartridges. The ammunition features nickel-plated cases and dark lead projectiles with a distinct headstamp consisting of the words HI-SPEED circling a central U mark. Verbatim markings on the red and green packaging include the Remington script logo, the DuPont oval logo, and the manufacturer identification of Remington Arms Company, Inc. with address details for Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Ilion, New York. The text on the boxes emphasizes the Kleanbore priming as being positively non-corrosive to prevent rust and corrosion in first-class arms. Several boxes exhibit handwritten ink inventory marks on the exterior surfaces.
Condition report:
The ammunition boxes are in good condition for their age, showing expected shelf wear including scuffing at the edges and minor fraying at the corners. One box has a partial tear on an end flap. Some boxes have handwritten inventory notations in ink on the side and rear panels. The cartridges themselves are well-preserved with bright cases and no signs of corrosion or oxidation. The ammunition appears to be live.
