Lot 1543:
Trio of Vintage Remington High Velocity 300 Savage Ammunition Boxes with 60 Empty Brass Casings
Description
This lot features a collection of three vintage Remington High Velocity green cardboard ammunition boxes, originally designed for 20 centerfire cartridges each. These boxes now serve as storage for a verified total of 60 empty brass casings chambered in .300 Savage. The casings are neatly arranged in their original white styrofoam inserts. The face of each box is printed in white with the Remington logo and High Velocity designation. The reverse of the boxes provides detailed descriptions for various bullet types, including Pointed Soft Point, Pointed Soft Point Core-Lokt, Power-Lokt Hollow Point, and Soft Point Core-Lokt. Visible headstamps on the brass casings reflect a variety of manufacturers and eras, including R-P 300 SAV, W-W SUPER 300 SAV, and REM-UMC 300 SAV. The REM-UMC marking specifically references the Remington-Union Metallic Cartridge Company era, adding historical depth to the collection. The .300 Savage cartridge, introduced in 1920 for the Savage Model 99, remains a classic American sporting round.
Condition report:
The green cardboard boxes show significant signs of age and shelf wear, including scuffing, edge fraying, and some staining. One box exhibits noticeable fading to the green pigment compared to the others. All boxes appear structurally intact. The 60 brass casings are spent and show varied levels of oxidation, tarnish, and signs of previous firing. One casing in the lower right insert appears to have a missing or heavily recessed primer. The styrofoam inserts show minor crumbling and discoloration consistent with age.
