I recently bought a handloaders entire collection of presses and components, and he showed me some old metal shotshells that he had inherited.

They are made by a company named "Alcan". I'm guessing they are from the 50's, but I'd never even heard of them before last week.

I took a magnet to them, but it didn't stick, so I'm assuming that they are aluminum.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I have some pictures of them, but didn't see a way to add them to this topic. If you can, please give this "tech-challenged" newbie a hand confused
