Old Peters Paper Shotgun Shells

[oldguyguns]

Selling off some various firearm items for a friend who had to go into a nursing home. He had 11 Peters Paper shotgun shells . The top is printed with 3 3/4- 1 1/4 5. Which I assume means they are 3 3/4 length with 1 1/4 oz of #5 shot. On the bottom is Peters H.V. 12 made in USA with a large P around the primer. These are unfired shells. Any idea of the value of these and where I could sell them (in addition to INGO)? Help appreciated.

No idea of the value, but the 3 3/4 stamping is the dram equivalent rating.

Old paper shotgun shells in and of themselves are not extremely collectable. The boxes on the other hand are.

That being said, here's a website that sells vintage shotgun shells if you want to explore potential values ... http://www.cutlerscove.com/neat-stuff/shotshells/collecting-shotshells.htm

Looks like they are worth $4 each.

Looks like they are worth $4 each. Anyone interested for $30 pm me. Again, have 11 of them.

You might want to put an ad up in the Classified section so as to not get a rules infraction.
