You can download bar code scanners on your phone. Do that and find out the specs!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would keep that for display. I have shot things a lot older than 10 years, maybe factories have to err on the side of caution. The lead doesn't look really oxidized, and the cases aren't green.

Barcodes didn't exist before the 1970's. That ammo is a lot older than that.

i have fired pinfire ammo that is older then me, and i am older than dirt!
i just fired some 22-250 ammo i reloaded in 1985. fired like it was loaded yesterday.
i have fired many boxes of 22lr like those i posted. had less failures than with some current manufactured .
the shelf life of ammo is close to forever if maintained in good conditions.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

so much for attempts at humor. I know barcodes are newfangled stuff. I do note the one box states smokeless powder. I have shot stuff with teens and 20's headstamps.
Looking at old boxes brings memories back, when you could find that at Wards, Sears, the local gas station, lots of places. Some of the names are gone too.
I still would display said ammo.

I fired off 30's vintage 22 rimfire ammo as a kid in the 70's and 80's. Also fired off WWII surplus 45 acp ammo during the same time frame. Didn't think anything of it at the time. Now that I'm older and slightly nostalgic I wished I'd kept some of that vintage ammo and the boxes they came in.

![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f46/DanChamberlain/henry_zpsp0pweqpi.jpg) I'm sure it's warmer than I want to shoot in the Henry, but wondering if anyone knows about how old it it? Agree with 1930's. I used to shoot some of that box type in 30-06 and the cases leaked near the base.

Thanks all for your inputs.
