Description

This lot features a vintage bulk pack of Federal brand .22 Long Rifle cartridges containing a total of 550 rounds. The ammunition is specified as 36 grain, copper-plated hollow point (HP) with a high velocity rating. The cartridges are housed in their original folding cardboard “Value Pack” box, which features a blue and white design with a graphic background of loose cartridges. Printed text on the front face includes the Federal logo, “VALUE PACK!”, “550 Rounds”, “.22 CAL CARTRIDGES”, and the bilingual “550 CARTRIDGES/CARTOUCHES”. The side panel provides technical specifications in a bulleted list: “.22 LONG RIFLE”, “HIGH VELOCITY”, “36 GRAIN”, “COPPER-PLATED”, “HOLLOW POINT”, “550 ROUNDS”, and “BULK PACK”. The packaging includes a safety warning in both English and French. The bottom right corner of the side panel is marked “No. 750”, and the bottom center states “MADE IN THE USA / FABRIQUÉ AUX ÉTATS-UNIS”. This bulk pack is designed for target shooting and small game hunting.


Condition report:

The original cardboard packaging shows visible signs of shelf wear and age. Specifically, there is blunting and scuffing to all corners, with significant edge wear and minor paper loss along the top and bottom edges (photo 1). The side panel exhibits multiple vertical and horizontal creases across the blue field (photo 2). The box maintains its structural integrity despite the surface abrasions and corner wear. The cartridges themselves are not visible for individual inspection, but the box appears to be full.
