Antique 38-40 Ammo
A very nice antique Winchester 38-40 Ammo box. This is an OPENED antique .38-40 black powder ammo box with a full compliment of original cartridges. It is a first issue, central fire, Winchester Brand box, circa 1885.

Winchester Brand Cartridges
It is in good overall condition, showing the early “old time” graphics and a picture of a cartridge on the end of the box. Although, the top green label shows edge wear and soiling, it is fully intact and readable. The box is solid with repaired seam splits to the top and bottom. All of the red side wrap is still intact and in good condition. The reloading label on the inside of the lid is very good and fully readable. In addition, the cartridges are un-touched. Also, in very good condition.


A great display box for an early black powder firearm of the same caliber.
We have another one of these boxes, identical to this one, Item #1719, but not quite as nice. It is priced at $425. You can contact us for more information if you are interested.
Covered with plastic wrap for protection.
