how "old" school are you ?

saw bearpaw posted a link to a site that was selling 22 ammo and got me thinking....was out a couple weeks ago shooting and came across a few 50 round boxes of 22 lr ammo i have that are marked 99 cents....probably bought them back in the late 80's.  found a sealed box of federal 22 lr in a 550 round box with a sticker price of $11.50---i guess back in the day i should have invested in more precious metals (lead) !  just wondering what ammo you have with the original price stickers on them and any idea of when they were purchased...

I no longer have the box but a brick of 500 22lr for $9.99

[gotshot]

I have 50 rnds 22 lr from K-mart 1.79 ana a box of 30 Springfield 1906 with Lubaloy. 20 rnds marked 1.50 from Sears and Roebuck.

Would rifle primers marked/dated that I bought in 1994 count or the pistol primers that were .90 a 100.
There are a few bricks of 22's that are 9.99

[JDHasty]

I have boxes of Nosler Partitions that are price marked about five bucks.

My parents gave me a Ruger Mark II for my high school graduation in 1981.  I still remember the first brick of 500 I bought was $7.99.  Ah, the good old days.

I swear we we're getting them just under 10 bucks at Walmart in the early 2000's then up to 21 or so. Haven't spent today's prices. Just crazy.

Have a box of 30-30 ammo western super X silvertips 170 grain for my first rifle. Price was $4.15 in 1967

and no questions about your age or if .22 was for a pistol or a rifle.

I'm not even old and have a few bricks that were only 12 bucks...some of the best money I've ever spent was a flat of those

I have a few boxes of 30-30 that are Centennial '76 Silver Tips, also some old Kleenbore 30-30 and 25-35, no prices On them but well under $10 at that time. Also have some 30-06 from 1976-1979 that vary in price from around $8 up to $10. My grandpa would buy a box a year and hunt with it and then put it away. When I inherited his 1917 I got all the old ammo with it. All I have shot still works perfectly and I would like to shoot an elk with it on of these days for sentimental reasons.

Almost all my .22 from the old days has been shot by now

Nice thread, I don't have any off the ammo from yester-year. But 22 ammo was 69 cents a box of fifty or $6.99 a brick.

Who would ever think that 22 shorts would cost $10 a hundred.

Probably White Elephant, Spokane

It's painful to look at the price tags on .22 ammo. I still have a couple bricks with 6.99 price stickers.

I have a 1903A3 in the gun safe that my uncle paid $20 for from the DCM.   I had a $9.99 7.62x54R at one time.  I bought that from Sears.

Here's an old school nugget.  At age 19 I bought a handgun from Herters thru the mail.  Sent a check and the mailman delivered it to the house.  Price was $47.95.

[nwwanderer]

One more, old old school

[ppodpearson]

Back in '65 I was getting Remington for .59 a box of long rifle at the Wigwam store in Kent. I was also able to get a brick of Remington long rifle through the Tacoma Police Department for $5.00, if we happen to be in the neighborhood. The big problem was finding work when the beans and berrys were out of season.

[bb76]

I have a box of 30-30 marked $5.95

I remember buying a brick (500) of .22 long rifle at the feed store in Bend Or for $5. Got a box of 30-30 somewhere that still has a price tag on it for $ 3.99

I used to reload with my dad probably 35+ years ago. Here are a couple items he recently gave me when he was cleaning out his stuff.
Target used to sell reloading stuff!

[jeffitz]

Old stuff is cool

My grandpa used to have a spider monkey that would drink and smoke.
