Sold for: $70
Description
This lot comprises a collection of 338 rounds of Peters Cartridge Company .22 caliber rimfire ammunition, organized into seven distinct two-piece cardboard boxes. The grouping includes a variety of specific loads: one box of .22 Short High Velocity Filmkote (No. 2267), one box of .22 Long High Velocity Filmkote (No. 2269), two boxes of .22 Long Rifle High Velocity Rustless (No. 2283), one box of .22 Long Rifle High Velocity Filmkote (No. 2283), and two boxes of .22 Long Rifle Hollow Point High Velocity Rustless (No. 2284). The silver and black labels prominently display the PETERS brand name, the P trademark, and the DUPONT logo, alongside descriptions such as Invisible Film Lubricant and Rim Fire Smokeless Cartridges. Detail inspections of the individual cartridges reveal brass casings bearing the verbatim transcribed PETERS HV headstamp, paired with solid lead and hollow point projectiles. The packaging also specifies production in the U.S.A. and the rustless or filmkote qualities of the respective loads.
Condition report:
The cardboard boxes show moderate signs of age including shelf wear, edge fraying, and surface scuffing to the labels. Several boxes exhibit age-related toning and minor staining consistent with long-term storage. The ammunition appears in varied condition, with notable oxidation present on many lead bullets ranging from a dark gray patina to white lead carbonate deposits. The brass casings show scattered instances of tarnish and minor green verdigris. One box contains protective cotton wadding. The cartridges appear to be live and are original to their respective packaging styles.
