Lot 358:
Lot of 100 Rounds Federal Game Load 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells in Vintage Boxes
Description
This lot consists of a collection of 100 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun ammunition housed in four vintage Federal Game Load two-piece cardboard boxes. The packaging features the distinctive blue and white color scheme with diagonal orange and black stripes and an illustration of a bird in flight. Each box is marked with the Federal logo and specifications indicating 12 gauge, 2 3/4 inches in length, a 3 1/4 dram equivalent, and 1 ounce of #8 shot. Two boxes retain original retail ephemera, including a green Wal-Mart price sticker for $3.88 and a faded white sticker for $3.67. Verification of the contents reveals that while primarily containing red plastic Federal shells, at least one Winchester Dove & Quail Load shell is present, indicating the 100-round total comprises mixed manufacturers of similar specifications. The boxes also feature a suggested shot size chart on the side for various game birds and rabbits. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in live condition with standard brass oxidation and surface wear consistent with age. The cardboard packaging shows significant signs of wear and aging, including crushed corners, surface abrasions, staining, and some edge tearing, though the structural integrity of the boxes remains largely intact.
