Need help identifying Hopkins and Allen Percussion Caps

[jimmyjazz]

I came across these while unpacking some boxes from a move and have no idea what they are used for and if worth anything
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

the priming compound looks pretty deteriorated. Probably only of value to someone who collects cap boxes and as such only worth a couple of dollars

cheers mooncoon

Is the container plastic? If so, probably Hopkins & Allen as in Numrich Arms Corp.
