Just as an aside or FWIW
* The red/green Remington boxes are from the 1950s and the green/red boxes are from the 1960s. About 1975 or so, Remington adopted the familiar green/yellow boxes (which are still with us mostly).

* Remington offered Peters. Mohawk, Remington Nitro and other name shells at a variety of price points.

* The yellow Winchester Super-X and Ranger shells are from the 1960s to early 1970s. Saw lots of thse when I was a kid After the early 1970s, Winchester shells came in red boxes, and were branded Super-X, Upland, and Game Load (among others)..

* The most valuable boxes are pristine boxes with all their ammo,or the "artsy" boxes with hunting scenes on them.

* All of the manufacturers made "hunting grade" ammo with pictures of ducks or geese or turkeys or quail or rabbits or dove . . . you get the idea. Those were around until fairly recently.
