Hello first off thank you for allowing me on the forums.
I found this old wooden box in a basement of a home we cleaned out. The box is stamped what looks like Wheat's Folding Cover Pat Oct. 4th 1870. It has 41 brass shot shells inside. Most say U.M.C. Co. No. 10. The other says Winchester No. 10. Anyone have any clue what this find could be? And does it have any value or is it garbage food.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this
