Most shotshell collectors are after "just" the box,and not the shells inside,the better the box,the higher the price paid ........if the box and shells are all original,your looking at app.$50.00 ,maybe more,The box you have is a two piece box(I believe top and bottom,and this makes it MORE collectable....)I'd be guessing around the 1930 time period ....but I'm not sure.....Hold onto it as a gift,it will only INCREASE in value....BB34
