Hi. Any idea or way of finding? They were given to me along with a lot of other really old stuff. I'd like to use them up, but I'm just curious about how old they are. Thanks in advanced. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/136971.jpg)

Looks like modern packaging on the ones on the far right to me. At least since I started reloading about 1997.
The others, I haven't a clue.

The two on the far left and far right I'm guessing 70's -80's. Those two in the center gotta be older. Don't even recall seeing that style packaging.

Well, I started loading with my father in the early 70's. and the box on the left in the pic (red/white magnum CCI primers) were what we used then. I have the box on the right (red/silver/blue CCI 200 primers, from the 80's (early 90s?). I have no idea about the 4 boxes in the middle, but a GUESS on the TOP 2 would be 50s, 60s???
I would load up a few of each into "prepped brass" (NO POWDER, NO BULLET), and see how they go off. IF they were stored properly (climate control, no moisture), I am confident they will be fine. YMMV. -TomT

Keep the boxes, get some epoxy and make yourself some coasters...

I wondered if those were date codes but I was fairly positive the 250s were not from 1935.

CCI, aka Cascade Cartridge Inc. started in 1954.
The bottom left is older then those I have from the late 70's.
Those four middle boxes, especially the one's that spell out Cascade Cartridge Inc. are real collectors items.

The 2 in the middle are older.
I have some of those and they get tested every now and again.
They go boom.
Made in the late 60's and the right side in currant.

I have primers from my dad's stash that look like the one on the far left that I would put as the late 60's early 70s design. The box has a price tag that appears to have a date of 2-73 on it. $6/K btw.
