USMC stamped shotgun shell question

[45DAVID1]

My boss has a box of "usmc" stamped shotgun shells in the original box and he is wondering what the value of these are. Anyone have any ideas?

If they are brass shells or cardboard hulls (WWI-WWII era), I would say they had some collector's value. If they're modern plastic, not so much to little collector's value.

They are cardboard.

Nice. Take some pictures (please use the macro function) and see if anyone on Jousters or the CMP forums is interested in them. I'm sure there's someone out there with a vintage Winchester, Remington, or Ithaca trench gun that could use those shells for some cool picture taking with their shotgun.

I have some full brass case but cardboard in the end. They still work in my single shot.

Why would you want to shoot them? I'll give you 2 Win AAs for every one you want to trade! They're probably worth about a box of cheap field loads a piece.
