Older .22 ammo - Any collector value?

[AB.boy]

My wife's grandfather past away a little while ago and when my father-in-law was going through his place he found these boxes of .22 and gave them to me. My question is do they have any collector value? Or should I just use 'em up in my .22's. It's not like I expect them to be worth hundreds of dollars or anything like that but I would hate to shoot them and find out later that they are collectable. Thanks.

If you are 25 years old and want to hang on to those boxes for another 50 years, then they will have become collectable. FS

greased?

I have a few boxes of the 'imperial' with the two piece trays...They still go bang

greased?

Lubricated bullet.

Pretty common on old rimfire ammo.

PITA to keep pocket lint off of when packing it around. Worse if the cartridge is dropped on the ground.

Dry lubes and copper plating make life better for 22 shooters!

not worth much

if they turn you on . hang on to them . if not shoot them . some guy;s try to get say 5 bucks a box etc . I hang on to some old stuff on the pretences of maybe displaying them who knows when . and some I shoot . I found some old get this tracer 22 ammo my dad used to sell and I;m hanging on to that . it still worked the last time I tried it . made in france Gevarm stuff . as I said if you like it hang on to it or shoot it .

Just keep them. It's no longer made.
