Where to find vintage stuff?

[MadDog]

Hey guys, I'm looking for old ammo stuff to make the gun room look alittle nicer to the eyes. Where can a guy find things besides Ebay like old ammo boxes and powder tins for decoration? Especially Savage ammo boxes?

Do some of the gun shows have dealers that sell mainly these types of things? I used to know a guy on here that collected old ammo and he sent me some old 303 Savage shells but I can't find him anymore, not sure if he re-upped after the last crash. Thanks for any help.

Gun shows is best that way you dont get spooned by Canada post
I bought a Near full box of 32 rf domion for $20 i coulda got it for $10 cause the guy didnt have a clue as to its value they were a bit greenish but so far everyone fired.
He had a pile of old wiz bang 22s all in there boxes + i have bought 41 rf and all kinds of rare hard to find stuff.
Got a full Box of 38RF in its orignal box as well.
All at gun shows.

You can find alot of various items at gunshows. For Savage brand in particular you might want to try Ebay and the US online gun auction sites. You tend to see very little in Canada. Most stores I know who have old boxes etc, keep them, and don't sell them.
Your best bet for non-gunpowder containing items is in reality, Ebay.

Awww you'd be surprised what you can turn up here Dosing, there are alot of guys that could care less about Ebay here, thats why I ask these questions, some of the guys know where lots of vintage Savage stuff is but don't really think anyone wants it.

I've got a beautiful Savage hand loader from the early 1900's that just sets the whole collection off that Bullcoon tossed my way a couple years ago just cause he knew I was a Savage fanatic. There are still good guys out there.
