Gun Collectors Dream Auction #86 Collector Auction
Lot 556:
Description
This lot features a collection of 25 live rounds and 58 empty casings for reloading, all chambered in .30-30 Winchester. The items are accompanied by six vintage cardboard ammunition boxes from Winchester and Western. The grouping includes one Winchester Super-Speed Power-Point box marked 150gr, one Winchester Center Fire Cartridges box labeled for 30-30 brass cases, one Western Super-X Silvertip 170 grain box, and three specialized Winchester boxes consisting of a Bicentennial ’76 edition, a Wells Fargo & Co. edition, and an antlered game edition featuring deer illustrations. Verbatim markings on the headstamps include W-W 30-30 WIN, SUPER-X 30-30 WIN, REM-UMC 30-30, and WINCHESTER 30-30. The live rounds consist of 10 nickel-plated cartridges with soft-point bullets, while the 58 empty brass cases provide valuable material for reloading. The collection serves as both a source of components for shooters and a group of decorative items for vintage sporting goods collectors.
Condition report:
The cardboard boxes show moderate shelf wear, edge scuffing, and some handwritten notations or original price stickers. The live ammunition appears in good vintage condition with clean nickel plating and secure bullet seating. The empty brass casings exhibit varying levels of natural oxidation and tarnish consistent with age and previous use but appear structurally sound for potential reloading.
