Condition report:

The ammunition appears to be in good vintage condition with clean brass casings and no significant corrosion noted on the visible cartridges. The cardboard boxes show varying degrees of shelf wear, including edge fraying, surface scuffing, and minor tearing to the flaps, most notably on the Remington box. Handwritten price markings of 15.00 and $7.19 are present on several boxes. The packaging remains structurally intact for display.
