    Old ammo boxes, any value?

    I almost feel silly for asking, but I guess not silly enough. Any value in these old ammo boxes?

    I must be old because I don't consider those boxes as old

      I was thinking the same thing

      The GD came out in the mid 90's, BT early 90's.

        some turn of century (20th)ammo boxes are quite valuable, none of those are except the black talon box may be worth a few bucks. Don't throw it away. Be worth keeping for years down the road. the older gold dot is kinda cool too, not valuable but cool!

          I second holding onto the black talon box. That might become a collector item someday.

            Any additional value if perhaps the ammo was still in the boxes?

              If that stuff is worth anything, then I'm wealthy. Looks like you have about $80 worth of ammo there.
              Buy made in USA whenever possible.

                Some old coots at the gun show might want them.

                  The only box that might have any kind of value to it I would think would be as someone else mentioned there is the "Black Talon" and the only reason I see that is because of the notoriety of of that ammo. For the same reason, that box if it actually had the original ammo may have some value to it. The rest of the ammo is nothing special as far as I am concerned.

                    Pre-barcode boxes are the collectable ones.

                      If there's ammo in them, then yes

                        ammo tends to be reasonably priced around here and Ive saw Black Talons bring 40-50 a box fast the few times Ive saw them on tables. at 60-75 they have sat. Actually recently the guy that had them for 40, I believe one guy bought like 6-8 (like every box but 2), everyone except the one caliber... I forget which caliber it was he didnt, Im sure he bought every semi auto caliber. I dont buy them simply cause at one time there was some regulation on them and just didnt want them in my possession. He flips alot of stuff so Im guessing 40 was a decent buy.

                          He said ammo boxes not boxes of ammo. He should have said if it is boxes of ammo.

                            Here's a good way to display old and newer boxes.

                              they are valuable because you can store all you new illegally imported ammo in them and make it ghost ammo.
