Old shotgun shells

[Bareback]

Do these have any value to a collector? I acquired them 30 years ago. They were my grandfathers, I have no idea on age, 40+ years.  There’s a full box but the box itself isn’t doing so well.

Unfortunately most of the value is the box

The real value is the fact they were your grandfathers

Agree... Personally I'd take it hunting and hopefully kill a few birds with the old ammo get some good pics and incorporate the hulls in a mount that's an option... If you're sentimental like that...

They are lead shells. I doubt the cost to travel to Texas to hunt cranes (lead shot legal) would be worth the effort. You might get lucky and get to use them on a coyote or two. That's about the only scenarios I can think of that would be legal use of those shells.

High base #4s would make a good turkey load also.
