Believe it or not those old shells will still go bang.

Years ago a friend of mine gave me a half box that he found in a family members estate. He dared me to fire one. Those shells arent any good he said. The only thing i had then was a model 12. Well lets find out. He backed off about 10 feet. I touched one off and along with the noise confetti flew everywhere. Those old cardboard wads were a little dried up. Also leaded up the barrel real good.

Probably a stupid thing to do but it made a believer out of him.

As far as price goes I have to disagree a bit with big bird. I have found you can usually pick up full boxes like this one "new crimp" in 12, 16, 20 gauge for around $15-30 in very good condition (i.e. some minor wear to edges, no seam splits or shell protrusions etc). 10 and 28 gauge can be quite a bit more with 28 gauge by far the toughest and therefore the most expensive, more like the $60-100 range quoted above. 410 bore run around 20-40 for full boxes depeding on size of the shell. There are several different versions of this box as well with some commanding premiums too. Shells go anywhere from $.25 to $1.00 a piece depending on the age (sticker top wad vs crimp), shot size, etc.

Go to a auction site called wards collectibles. There are many makes and variations of collectible shot gun shells as well as 22 ammo. Lots of good photos and estimated value. This will answer all your questions. Warning you might spend some time there very interesting site.
