Most of the boxes appear to have various condition issues.

The fact that they're full (as long as it's the correct ammo) is a plus, but Jonny's right, unless the stuff is really old or really uncommon, shotshells just don't bring that much.

It looks like the oldest boxes there are from the 1950s, with a bunch into the 1960s and 1970s.

My guess is that the best box in the lot is the Remington ShurShot box, the one with the red and white front panel in image 3 (2). I believe it's also the earliest, and could be as early as the late 1940s but is most likely 1950s.

Oops. I see Jonny also picked that up.
