There is a market for paper (antique) loaded shot shells and the original cardboard boxes. Collectors and others are buying them for display purposes. Go to Gunbroker.com and see what they are going for. I have sold a 5-round box of 16 gauge slugs there...it is worth the time and effort despite what some are saying here.
Do not shoot them up. The value of those shells will only increase with time. If you find that they will not sell for what you time is worth, store them away for a few years.
