Good evening to you sir, thanks for showing that cool old box of .22 ammo.
There was a time in my life when I collected cartridges, trying to get one example of each center fire round that I could and one full box of rimfire .22. For a number of reasons I eventually drifted away from it, but anyway here's the Canuck shelf.
Whole rimfire collection.
As to the OP's question I'd say the initial answer is a good place to start, perhaps it's a regional thing too as rimfire collecting wasn't a big deal when I was into it - but then that was 20 years back now I guess.
All the best to you all as fall turns into winter.

Shoot it.
Really. Not going to be worth the gas money to get the stuff to the post office, as far as making your fortune goes.
If you go to any gun shows, stick the stuff in your pocket and cart it along. Chances are about fifty/fifty, that you can trade it straight across for modern ammo to one of the guys that collects the stuff.
Last batch of old ammo I took and traded off was a half brick of "Whiz-Bang" .22 shot shells I was given. The 'brick' box was in really nice minty shape, and the six boxes remaining inside were mint, never opened. I got 20 bucks, which I spent on ammo I could use. The guy got several nice boxes to sell, plus the nice brick box. He has to make something too.
Not exactly a lottery win, but it went where it was appreciated.
