Lot 355:
75 Rounds Estate Super Sport Competition Target Load 12-Gauge Shotgun Ammunition
Description
This lot consists of a group of 75 rounds of Estate Super Sport Competition Target Load 12-gauge shotgun ammunition, divided among three original vintage-style folding cardboard boxes. Each box contains 25 rounds of plastic shotgun shells. The packaging identifies the load as a 12-gauge, 2 3/4-inch shell featuring 1 oz. of #7 1/2 lead shot. Technical specifications printed on the boxes indicate a 2 3/4 dram equivalent with a muzzle velocity of 1180 FPS. The product code SS12L1 7.5 is present on the top panels.
The boxes feature a cream and red color scheme with green diagonal accents, displaying the printed text ESTATE SUPER SPORT COMPETITION TARGET LOAD and the slogan Custom Quality and Performance. A circular logo on the front and sides shows a laurel wreath surrounding the characters ECI and the words ESTATE CARTRIDGE. The individual shells are constructed with ribbed red plastic hulls and silver-tone metal heads. Each shell is stamped with black ink depicting the laurel wreath logo and Estate Cartridge ECI branding.
Condition report:
The ammunition and packaging show signs of vintage shelf wear and handling. All three cardboard boxes remain structurally intact but exhibit scuffing, edge blunting, and surface soiling (Photo 1). There is visible finish loss and whitening at the corners and along the fold lines (Photo 2). The individual shells show scattered dark handling marks and superficial scratches on the plastic hulls, though the black printed logos remain largely legible (Photo 3). The metal heads show minor dulling consistent with age but no heavy oxidation or structural damage is visible in the provided photographs.
