Amazed Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I found an old one in with a load I wa given. It's a bellot and seller paper cart. It may not be old to some of you on here but as I am used to cheap tack plastic shells it's nice to se a tigers face printed in gold on one its lg so really should get rid but I don't think I will go down the road for 1 old shell.

Floating Chamber Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Sellier and Bellot is an old firm on the road from Prague to Brno in a place called Vlasim. (sorry this system will not allow me to use Czech Language accents) I started using these shells in 1962; they were flat packed in tens and cost 5s 3d for 10. That is 26 pence.
