I picked these up at an auction several years ago and they have been sitting on a shelf ever since. I'm curios as to how old they are? The auction was the only time I have ever seen them packaged like this. They are small paper wrapped cardboard boxes. Anybody have any info on them? ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/EBqq785.jpg)

The lack of a zip code would date them before 1963, unless they are some kind of commemorative.

I cant see what grain weight the third box is. Looks to be 1940ish to me but am no expert.

I started reloading in about 1954 and I don't remember seeing boxes like that. Pre-WW2 maybe?

Thanks for the replies. The boxes are in really good condition if they are that old and they are still sealed, so thats what had me questioning the age. I found a listing online for a similar box but all it said was that they were vintage, so no help with age there.
