Zapp Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 They could have come from one of those bullet/cart display cases which had an example of the entire range produced by a company/ ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Never thought of that. Any ideas how old they would be? I'm most certainly not a historical cart man, but I've had a poke about and found references in catalogues online to the "BONAX" brand from 1911 and 1929*. I found another reference to 20 bore BONAX from (according to the site) "pre 1896". * It is worth noting that according to this website in 1925 Eley and Kynoch were merged, at which point - and I quote, "The Eley name is preserved by renaming all Nobel sporting ammunition "Eley-Kynoch", which suggests to me that your carts are pre 1925 because (as far as I can see) there is no mention of Eley on them. As far as value is concerned, there is a guy selling a paper cased Kynoch BONAX (inert) with a starting bid of £2, so you might not be sitting on a small fortune, sadly. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on here will be able to pick up the baton from here and tell you more.

George1990 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 There might be a way of contacting Tom Grange who writes articles in the Shooting Gazette and is a collector of old cartridges. He'd be sure to know! Must be a contact thingy on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
