Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good, live condition with no significant corrosion visible on the brass heads or hulls. All three boxes show moderate shelf wear including blunted corners, minor edge fraying, and surface abrasions. The Federal 20-gauge box has a handwritten blue \"3\" on the front panel and some tape residue. The Federal turkey box shows some structural softening but remains intact.
