Agree with winchester73 above. Peters hasn't manufactured ammunition for over 70 years, and while they are probably safe to shoot, chances are that the powder is not in the same condition it was when the shells were loaded. Even if they are pristine and shoot exactly the same as they did the day they were manufactured, shotshell loads have come an awful long way in that time and today's shells are undoubtedly better and more capable than those old ones. I'd just put them aside, and keep them as a keepsake or, if you don't want to keep them, see if there is collector interest in them (my guess is there is).
