Been finding some good deals on old shot shells lately and managed to snag quite a few boxed of various brands. Always loved paper hulls and high brass.
Anyways, can anyone help me figure out an approximate year for each of these kinds. Also have a few random boxes of some older polish shells aswell.

I believe the Canuck plastic hulls were introduced in 1963, the year I started shooting as a teenager.
Gevelot loaded shotshells in Saskatoon between 1961 and 1973. I suspect that the Olympic paper hulls were an earlier product.
I found an Olympic Box identical to yours, labelled Made in Poland, so not Gevelot made.

I remember the Olympic branded shells as being from the '70s. Can't narrow it down any more than that.

The graphics on the Imperial shells at the left remind me of the '70s as well.
 
The Canuck IVI aren't that old... 1980s I think (after CIL changed to IVI). Some of the Imperial are early 1970s, late 60's, old Canuck seem like 60's. Can't speak on the Remingtons. Olympic was from the 70s from what I remember
