I found this cigar box full of bullets and other neat stuff in the attic of the abandoned building I've been searching . I'm not a bullet expert , but many of them seem to be odd sizes .

The Bullets Look Like WW2 U.S. M1 , .45s & British .303. Look at the base of the Cartridges for Cal. info. trk5capt...
 

Can't tell by the photo, but I don't see a .45 ACP. I do think I see a .45 Colt, and a .45/70 Govt, and maybe .30/40 Krag.

Show us some headstamps!
 

Check out that Superman Button, it's probably the most valuable thing in the box!
 

I'm also seeing what looks like a .25/20 as well as medical corp lapel pin and a 15th Regiment insignia. What's that button in the lower left part of the cigar box?
 

Look's like some "stripper clip's" to me,same as the bottom round's on the right.
 

That's what I was thinking trk5...M1...
 

the pins, superman, olive oyl and such have a good value and many collectors looking for them
 

i like the pins, all good finds u have there,
 

looking at pins again i think i see a SS deaths head with black eyes ? if so then theres another good one for the collectors to drool over.......spread them out and post a pic !!..............gldhntr
 

I think those stripper clips are from the 1903 Springfield. The M-1 garand of WW2 vintage uses a box type clip that holds eiht rounds.

A) Check with collectors sites, the rimfire ones especially, they have a value with firearms collectors, prob more than the others.
