Anyone recognize these?

Was going through my ammo today and came across these two boxes that look pretty old. A 28 gauge had some original paper shells. The 12 gauge had some paper shells that I think are reloads. Looks like they were bought at White Front??? for $1.80. Pretty sure I got these from my Grandpa.

I remember seeing those Federals or something super similar in my late grandfathers gun cabinet in the mid 80's

Brings back a lot of good memories, back when there were a lot of local places to hunt and a lot of people hunted.

Ive been to whitefront lol. Think it was Fedco after that, I had a bunch of old boxes of shells like that I gave to Robs son Nic...... You use to be able to buy ammo just about anywhere and yes for 2 to 3$ a box. 28 gauge is cool not many of those old boxes around.

They look like the boxes that my dad and brothers had in the late 50's early 60's. The all had dram equivalent on the boxes. 16 drams=1ounce.

Ron,

I love dated shotshell boxes...They're not real old, but very cool...Rem Shur Shot was one of the 1st all plastic shells with the all plastic "Power Piston" (Shur Shot was previously paper)....With this invention, it started making the full choke a little less needed and modified barrels more popular...Reloading with "Power Pistons" was very popular with trap shooters in the 60's.

The Federal 28 gauge boxes are always more rare...Since, the gauge has never been real popular......
