TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 What a shame that more of you don't post you pictures with a horizontal cartridge. The vast majority of cartridges read that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas seal Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi great looking at all the different cartridges , not a lot changed, new ones still have fancy names . I wonder how many cartridges have been used in this country over the years. Thought I would show my first side by side (English) gun. I got the ammunition for it from the lady in the local chemist shop? . The local hardware store had old cartridges on display, they were probably threw away. It’s good to see people collecting cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas seal Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I think that’s the first time that the pellet tin was opened or the Eley 10gauge. Two cartridges are 24gauge and two are tin shot. The ammunition for the pop gun was medicine bottle corks. Don’t see any now. It’s good to see collections of cartridges . There must be thousands of brands all over the world. The local hobby shop, toy shop, sold the USSR cartridges from a safe behind their counter they had old boxes of cartridges in it. No doubt just thrown away. Worralls gun shop and pet store, long gone, he never spoke much the l think the parrots said more. Most of the time the cartridges writing had wore away and no one knew what they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lever357 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Had a good haul recently. I know a RFD who works from home and he was aware of my passion for cartridges beginning with a W and ending in inchester so he got these for me from a collector who was liquidating a largely centrefire collection. 500 of each in excellent condition. From the 1990s I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an auction lot a year ago as I could see some older Winchester boxes. When I picked them up I was disappointed to find none of the boxes were full, but there were other brands in the box and I got a nice surprise when I pulled this one out. A still sealed box of Eley Jackie Stewarts!!!! Someone had put at date stamp on the top of one of the Winchester boxes - 1969!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPhantom Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Has anybody seen one of these before?
